Registration
Sign up for the Ottawa 2023 convention by purchasing a registration below or download the registration form and mail it in with payment in Canadian dollars.
Note: Each registration will require you to specify certain information (ex: name, dance level, meal choice) therefore you can only add one at a time to your shopping cart. To register more than one individual, just add a separate registration to your cart for each person before checking out.
Having issues with registration? Check out our Frequently Asked Questions page for help with this and for full cancellation policy.
