Associate membership is available to anyone who loves country dancing and wants to join us in our mission to promote this lively, inclusive and fun dancesport around the world.

Annual dues for adult associate members are just $30 per year. Juniors $20. Multiple year memberships are available for $55 and $75, juniors $37.50 and $50. Our secure online registration makes it easy to become an Associate Member or Renew your membership. Membership is required for those who wish to compete in UCWDC sanctioned competitions at the Novice Level or above.

BEFORE YOU CREATE ANY NEW RECORD - PLEASE, click on the button below. Then search for the last name of the person you’re registering for, and also the former last name if it has changed, to see if that person is already in our system. He or she may have been added as a guest by someone else. If the person is in the system, please choose RENEW even if dues have never paid before.

If you have ever been a member and paid dues, you can probably still have that number. Click the button below and search for your last name. Please note, your Date of Birth, a valid eMail address and at least one contact phone number are now required for membership. But, do not fear. Your private record is not viewable by the public.

If you are going to pay with a Credit or Debit Card, use the Online Feature. It is completely encrypted and secure. Plus, you will immediately receive both an eMailed Confirmation Payment Receipt and a Membership Card page with your number, expiration date and a membership card that you can print out. You can use these documents to verify your membership status. When registering for an event please put your membership number on the Event Registration Form.

If you do not receive your receipt and membership card in just a few minutes, please immediately send an eMail message to the UCWDC Office so your eMail address can be verified. Also make sure your Internet Service Provider does not block pdf attachments.

Mailing a paper form with a check is still an option. However, processing that way takes longer. If you include a LEGIBLE eMail address, date of birth and a contact phone number on the form you will receive your membership card via eMail. Otherwise it will be sent to you by snail mail, but there may be a delay of a few weeks.
