Registering is easy! Just click here and you can register and pay either by check or paypal online. Once we have received your payment, you are registered. Please note that if we do NOT receive payment within 7 days from your registration, your name will be removed and you will need to start the process over again.
CAN I GO TO DANCES IF I AM NOT A CAMPER?
We will sell passes at the door only to the general public as long as there is space. This will be up to the venue coordinator on staff. We also have a Dancers Only Pass available for purchase which will guarantee you into all of the dances.
IS THERE HOUSING AVAILABLE?
We have great rates at the Silver Cloud Hotel, which is located in the heart of the workshop venues. If you are unable to afford a hotel room, we have a fabulous housing coordinator name Claire that will try to match you up with a host. This is not guaranteed however and it is first come first served. We only do this for full weekend pass holders. Go under the Accommodations tab for detailed info.
ARE THERE ANY VOLUNTEER POSITIONS AVAILABLE?
All volunteer positions are filled.
WHICH TRACK LEVEL SHOULD I SIGN UP FOR?
There are detailed descriptions regarding the track levels on the web page…click here to read. http://campjitterbug.com/node/1260 If you still aren’t sure, you can email our staff at info@campjitterbug.com
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE TRACK LEVEL AUDITION?
It is social dancing only so all you need to do is show up and you will rotate and social dance with multiple partners.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO THE CLASSES?
Please wear dance shoes only to classes…we discourage wearing street shoes to class. You can wear any dance shoe or sneaker that you prefer, as long as it isn’t used on the street to respect the floors. Wear clothes that are comfortable to dance in. If you plan on taking an air steps class, do not wear any loose fitting jewelry or clothing that could get caught up. Comfort is the key word here.
ARE THE VENUES WALKING DISTANCE?
The workshop venues are walking distance. The only venue that is NOT walking distance, is the Jump Session Show at Benaroya Hall. We have bus schedules and information posted here.
HOW DO I PURCHASE JUMP SESSION SHOW TICKETS?
If you are a camper, you can purchase your JS show ticket (and any tickets you would like to purchase for friends) during the registration process. Each camper receives ONE discounted JS ticket. This discounted ticket is ony available during your initial registration. If you are NOT a camper, then you must purchase your ticket through Benaroya Hall.
CAN I VIDEOTAPE AT CAMP JITTERBUG?
Videotaping is allowed in between classes but NOT during class. Videotaping is allowed and encouraged at the evening dances and during competitions. If you post footage of the event on YouTube, please include the CJ web page so others can know where to find more info on the event.
HOW DO I SUBMIT A NUMBER FOR THE JUMP SESSION SHOW?
The Jump Session Show is a professional show…we have a lot of incredible performers who submit numbers so it is very competitive. We pick the numbers and performers that most appropriately fit our standard and theme. If you would like to have a number/s considered for the show, please email our staff at info@campjitterbug.com.
WHY DO I HAVE TO WEAR A WRISTBAND?
We have a strict policy about wearing wristbands. We were lenient in the past and unfortunately some less than honest people took advantage of this. Campers MUST wear their wristband to get into the workshops and dances.
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
If you have to cancel your Camp Jitterbug registration, you will receive credit towards future Camp Jitterbug's in the amount that you paid. Sorry, but due to the fact that we are reserving a spot in the camp for you at different price breaks, there are no refunds or transfers if you decide to cancel. There will be no exceptions to remain fair to everyone! If you want to receive a credit for next year, email our staff at info@campjitterbug.com, let her know you need a credit and put "credit for 2013" in the subject.
HOW DO I CHANGE THE TRACK LEVEL I SIGNED UP FOR?
If you would like to change your track level, please email our staff at info@campjitterbug.com. Please try to pick the correct track level from the start since certain tracks fill up quickly and once a track is filled up, you won’t be able to move into that track.
HOW DO I GET ON THE WAITING LIST WHEN CJ SELLS OUT?
Once a track sells out in either lead or follow, we close registration for that track and open a wait list. The sooner you add your name to the wait list, the more likely you will get into the track. You will not pay until you have been moved from the wait list to the track. We will contact you if and when this happens.
