About Registration
To register for Pioneer Encuentro 2025, you will need to receive an invitation, then agree with the event’s Liability Release and Attestation statement and pay the registration fee. Along with the email invitation, invitees receive a link to a registration form that contains the Liability Release and enables payment. Invitees 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 in waves to persons we know have a stable partner relationship and to single leaders and single followers. All the while, gender-role balance is monitored. Slots for single dancers are allocated but, as we approach capacity, we can invite additional followers only as single leaders register to match them. If single leaders do not have a serious ongoing partner relationship, we encourage them to register early without naming a partner. This enables us to invite more single followers.
