*We give a reduction for local and international dancers in a vulnerable socio-economic status, or who are in other situations that go with financial restrictions. It goes without saying that this is not intended for dancers who have already visited so many festivals and cannot afford to take Big City Blues anymore.
In case you want to benefit from this reduction, please register through the form and send us an email. Write a brief description of your situation and why you want to apply for financial support. Please also let us know what you are able to contribute (both financially and as a contribution to the festival). We will do our best to help, until the resources of the social rate run out.
Registration rules
Do I need to register with a partner for the couple blues track?
- To keep the festival balanced, we welcome an equal number of leaders and followers.
- We encourage you to register with a dance partner in case of the couple blues track.
- Single registration is possible, but you might be on the waiting list until we find a match.
- If you find a dance partner later on, ask your partner to register and to write your name in the ‘partner’ field. Please also write to us to let us know who will be your partner.
- If you register as a single dancers and we send a payment request, this means we’ve matched you with a dance partner from the waiting list. We’re not able to match you with another dance partner anymore.

- Questions or problems regarding the payment? Don’t hesitate to contact us.
Can I cancel after payment?
- If you haven’t paid yet, you can cancel your ticket by sending us an email. Please do, so we can give your spot to somebody else.
- You paid for your ticket but you can’t make it after all? There are two options:
- Sell your ticket to someone with the same role (leader or follower) and same level and let us know.
- Inform us and we’ll look for a replacement. If we find someone, we’ll refund your payment -15% administrative fee. If we can’t find someone to take your spot, we won’t be able to give you a refund.

If your partner cancels the festival, you will need to find a replacement in order to keep your spot. You can either find a replacement yourself or write an email to us as we might be able to find someone from our waiting list.
