Come to the BACDS English Dance Week in Mendocino, California, 
from July 12-19, 2003


Registration

The registration fee for the dance week is $625. The fee includes room, board, and tuition. A deposit of $75 per camper is due with each application, with final payment due by June 15. You are encouraged to pay the full fee in advance.

To avoid problems associated with slow mail, all applications postmarked by April 15 will be deemed to have arrived on that date. If English Dance Week is oversubscribed, a drawing will be held. Applications postmarked after April 15 will be considered in order of receipt. Registrants will be accepted regardless of gender until an 18% imbalance occurs. Only in that case will a waiting list be instituted before camp is filled. Notification of acceptance or waiting list status will be mailed after May 10.

Please note that there is a cancellation fee: if the registrar receives notice by June 15, $35 of your deposit is nonrefundable. After June 15, $75 is nonrefundable. The entire fee may be retained in the event of cancellation without sufficient notice.

The smooth operation of camp depends on the efforts of work scholarship campers! Work scholarships (covering up to 1/3 of the fee) are available to all and will be considered upon request. Scholarship requests must be accompanied by the $75 deposit. We offer a scholarship to a musician interested in English dance music. For further details on the Jude Biggs scholarship, please contact Mary Devlin (contact information given below).

Only full-time registrants, generally 18 or over, can be accepted. Teenage applicants, if accompanied by an adult, will be considered. For the health of all camp participants, we strongly encourage the use of nontoxic and fragrance-free products at camp. Complete information will be included in the acceptance packet.

For your convenience, if you don't have access to our printed brochure, we offer a registration form that you can fill out online and print out, to be mailed along with your check. (We don't offer direct registration online at this time.)


BACDS offers one other dance week this summer, at the Armenian Church Camp (in Kings Canyon, 50 miles east of Fresno): Family Week, July 12-19, (contact Jerry Allen and Emily Flouton at 707-829-8833, or email familyweek@bacds.org). An American Dance Week is planned for 2004.
