First-Time Membership is for those who have never registered with the UCWDC and want to join our unique dance circuit.

• We offer a one-time price of $5.00 USD.
• This membership enables you to register to compete at regional events, qualify for the Country Dance World Championships, and track points toward advancement through each skill level.

Renewing Membership is for those who are or have been an Associate Member and need to renew for the new dance year.

• Annual renewal cost is $35.00 USD.
• If you don’t remember your Associate Member number, click on “Find Me”.

If you want to compete at a local event and do not want to compete at UCWDC Country Dance World Championships, choose the Local Event Membership type.

• This is a per-event fee of $4.00 USD. To be eligible for this membership, you should never have been registered with another type of membership before in our organization.
• You can purchase a Local Event membership for each local event you want to compete at during the same year.
• With this membership you will get access to most of our benefit(s), but you will not be able to compete outside of your chosen event (don’t forget to indicate which event you would like to participate at when signing in), and you will not have qualifications for or be able to compete at the UCWDC World Championships.
• You can renew this membership every year as long as you are doing local events only. If you wish to get access to the full membership the following year, you will have to register under the Renewing Membership (not first Time).

Each Team competing at a UCWDC event should register under a unique name to compete at regional events and the Country Dance World Championships.

• Team members are not required to be an Associate Member to compete on a Team, unless you compete individually in another division.
• For contact purposes, be sure to indicate the name of the Team Captain, or the person who will receive communications from the UCWDC.

We offer Adult and Junior Memberships. These are not applicable to Teams.

A junior member is a person who will be less than 18 years old at the end of the membership period (January 15 of the following year). Junior memberships are available for first-time and renewing memberships.

The UCWDC dance season starts on January 16th and finishes on January 15th of the following year. The Membership period follows the same structure – no matter when you register, all memberships expire on January 15th of the following year.
