We hope this ticket structure allows you more choices and more opportunities to participate.

  • The base ticket this year is our Dance Pass. In addition to the dances, watching competitions, and joining in on our community events- this pass allows you the option to purchase classes and/or compete.

  • There are two types of classes this year: Tracked Classes in which the instructors give you a 3-day tailored learning experience; and Add-On Classes that allow you to choose your learning adventure. The Tracked Classes and Add-On Classes do not overlap, so you can do as much or as little as you like.

Don’t forget to check out our Community Extras!

Cancellation / Refund Policy

There are no refunds for Lindyfest tickets. Transfer of event passes; including dance passes, track classes, competitions, community brunch, and add-on classes; to another person may be done until Wednesday, March 15th. Please e-mail LFregistration@hsds.org to initiate a transfer to another dancer or to Lindyfest 2025. Transfers are only good for 1 year.

Competitions

Competitions are all about fun (and are not to be used as a measure of self-worth!). However, competitions often involve dancing with people you have never met before. By competing, you recognize that competitions entail a degree of risk, as would any athletic activity. 

We do not refund competition fees if you change your mind, or cannot attend the event, but they can be transferred to another competitor as long as you reach out to LFregistration@hsds.org by or before Wednesday, March 15th.


Please reach out to lfregistration@hsds.org with any questions.
