WAITLIST Registration Details - PLEASE READ BEFORE Registering

We are on waitlist only - including "under 25" ... please do register; much can change between now and June 15. If you do register for the waitlist, I encourage you to opt for dinner on Saturday night. We have a minimum for the caterer and if a cancellation is from a dancer who ordered dinner we will need to replace the dancer with someone who also plans to have dinner with the community on Saturday night.

Please do read the rest of the terms before clicking through to register for the waitlist. Thank you!

Please note: tickets are not transferable; if you must drop out, we want to be able to extend your ticket to the next person "on the wait list." In the unfortunate event that you can't use your ticket, please contact register @ashevillecontra.com right away.

Refunds: If your registration has been processed and confirmed, your ticket will be refunded up until June 1, less a $20 administrative fee. After June 1, there are no refunds.

Gender Balancing: To achieve a nearly 50/50 gender mix, registrations will be considered on a first-come, first serve basis but not finally accepted until a gender match is achieved. Registrations received in even matched gender pairs ON THE SAME FORM will be accepted immediately if there is space (though you may not receive confirmation until the first week of May).

Single applicants of either gender will be held until a counterpart registration of the opposite gender is received. Please help yourselves and us by registering in pairs. (If you are interested in discussing this issue, please chime in on the Facedbook discussion thread. I am very interested in your point of view.)

Again, balance partners MUST be on the SAME form - no exceptions.

The forms have space for two registrants, though you can use one side only. If you do register with another dancer, each registrant will get an email confirmation of their submission with their details, so be sure to fill out the email for each dancer. It can be the same for both dancers, of course. There will also be a "thank you page" after you submit with all details for both dancers. You may want to print that for your records. Payment details are also on that page. You may pay separately, but the registration is not complete until both dancers are paid.

Reminder: No camping or overnight vehicles at Warren Wilson. And no pets on campus, sorry!!

If you have any problems with registering with the form; please send an email to dance @ashevillecontra.com, and let me know what error or problem you are having, including the browser ou are using. (Note any other questions should be sent to register@ ashevillecontra.com.

PRICES:

The College continues to raise the facilities costs and the per person charges, as well as dorm fees, etc. but we have kept the basic ticket price under $100 (it was $95 last year) despite higher per person charges. We have also kept the Saturday night dinner at cost and the same as in previous years ($18) because we feel the fellowship of a dinner together is part of a dance weekend.

[*Youth tickets are limited to 20% of the total dancers and are reserved until May 7 but youth discount only applies for the first 2 weeks of registration.]

I have read all the terms and am ready to register: CLICK HERE.

Helpful details for those who have not been to Summer Soirée:

Food: The College meal plan ($21) covers breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday breakfast. Most dancers find the food at Warren Wilson to be more than exceptionally good by college cafeteria starndards. There is a wide variety including plenty of vegetarian options. You may purchase the Saturday night catered dinner ($18) and a Sunday lunch. We are using new caterers this year and have every confidence that long time dancers will be pleased with the change. Dinner on Friday is on your own.

Dorms: We will have Sunderland Hall this year, but we cannot guarantee anyone to be in that hall. There will be some overflow into Vining, which is also very close to the dance hall, Bryson and the Pavilion. We don't expect to have any dancers lodged "across the road" on the other side of the campus. It is strictly bring your own towels and linens.

Guests: We hate to disappoint anyone, but we can't accommodate any non-dancing guests unless they are fully paid for the weekend.

Thank you for being the success of Summer Soirée!! I can't wait to dance with you!

Folk-alizer for Summer Soirée
