Please note that when you register, you will be signing up for one class and that will be your class for the weekend. Registrations are non-transferable.
Classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Should your first-choice be full before you register, we will automatically place you in your second or third-choice depending on what is available.
Failure to submit a second or third-choice will result in a delay in your class confirmation.

DUF Class Selection Guidelines:
Note to Directors: Kindly do not concentrate all of your group members in the same class. Danzantes Unidos is a networking opportunity and in order for this to work it is recommended that, whenever possible, you distribute your dancers among the class offerings. This will allow them to work outside of their "normal" clique and provide them with a chance to make new friends from around the state and country.
Children's classes are divided by grade school levels. Our instructors have prepared their material with maturity levels in mind and we will honor their requests to transfer out students who do not meet the criteria.
