Dance Fever Updates!

Final Dance Fever payments are due this week!! A late fee of $25 will be posted if it hasn’t been paid on 09/15, there are only a few (thanks!!). You are still required to pay the fee even if you are not attending and it will be applied to another convention (must be the same price range). The SYTYCD clinic only covers if you missed FULL OUT. You must attend another 2-day event to make up for Dance Fever!!



Hotel fees will all be posted on Monday, September 15 if they haven’t already. They are due by September 18. Also remember another costume/comp fee deposit of $50 will be posted for September.



Room assignments have been made if you booked through us. We will get out as soon as it is finalized with phone numbers of the room moms so you can make travel arrangements. This is your responsibility, you can go with your friend or room mom, but she needs to know your plans so you don’t get left without a ride!!



If you have any questions, please email robin.williams@atk.com.



We are looking forward to a fun weekend – hope you are too!!
