Registration Options

Seven-Day Pass with all scheduled Workshops – this is our “everything” pass. Select this pass to take as many premium couples, line dance, or dance technique workshops as you like, plus attend as many dance parties, competitions and other Worlds activities as you like. This does not include any special Intensives.

Seven-Day Pass (no Workshops) – Select this pass to attend as many dance parties, competitions and other Worlds activities as you like. This does not include any special Intensives and workshop tickets can be purchased separately on site. Please note: all UCWDC competitors must purchase at least the Seven-Day Pass. See the UCWDC Competition page for more information.

College Students can register online for a discounted y day pass. Please present your valid college ID when you check in at Worlds Registration!

Three-Day Pass – If you are just joining us for a few days and not participating in UCWDC competitions, three day passes are available for juniors with or without workshops and also for adults (no workshops). The guardian pass is not included with the three day option.

One-Day Pass – a one-day pass is equal to the six-day pass described above, but only for the day of purchase. This pass includes all scheduled workshops for that day. This does not include any special Intensives. With this pass, you can dance until dawn, or until the music stops. Pricing is slightly higher for the weekend.

One-Night Pass – Like a one-day pass, we also sell a one night pass. These are available after 6 PM daily. Pricing is slightly higher for weekend nights.

Spectator Pass – Anyone can buy a spectator pass to watch competition from 8 AM am until approximately 5 PM in the competition ballroom. The price is $15 each day of competition.

Juniors – Our junior customers (17 and younger) can buy their event passes at half price! Just select the Juniors 7-day pass from our pricing menu to receive the discount. In addition, our junior competitors can get all of their standard division entry fees for half price through October 31th! Don’t forget – Junior passes include a guardian/parent 6-day no workshop pass. Please designate the legal guardian/parent and notify Pam Butler, Worlds Registrar.
