About Registration
To register for Pioneer Encuentro 2024, attendees will need to receive an invitation, then agree with the event’s Liability Release and Attestation form and pay the 2024 registration fee. Along with the email invitation, participants will receive a link to the registration form that contains the Liability Release and enables payment. Invitees will have a window of time during which to register, after which their invitation will expire and be extended to others on the Encuentro’s waiting list.
Invitations are generated in the early fall, typically 5-6 months ahead of the event. Dancers who remain interested in participating are welcome to use the [Contact Us] form to communicate their interest in the event.
Pioneer Encuentro is committed to gender-role balance. Invitations are sent to persons we know have a stable partner relationship and to single leaders and single followers, usually in waves. All the while, gender-role balance is monitored. Slots for single followers are allocated but, as we approach capacity, we invite additional followers only as single leaders register to match them. If single leaders do not have a regular partner, we encourage them to register early without naming a partner. This enables us to invite more single followers.
