Hey Swingtacularites. We hope this message finds you healthy and safe. We, like many, are trying to find little ways to support people through this challenging time. We are fully aware that the current global circumstances are comprised of far more unknowns the knowns, and we will absolutely prioritize the health and well-being of our community above all else... That said, we are very hopeful that we will all be able to dance and be together come summer time and into the first weekend of August 🙂
Swingtacular, along with Jack & Jill O'Rama 2020 and Wild Wild Westie 2020, is implementing a "worry free" booking policy for attendees. This will allow us to more effectively plan the best Swingtacular ever, while still accounting for the unknowns and struggles associated with the global pandemic. You can find more specifics below.
Stay healthy Swingtacularites!
Swingcerely,
Your Resident Dance Geeks (BAMEO)

Summer Swing Triple Crown "Worry-Free" Registration Policy
So far this year has been incredibly topsy-turvy due to COVID-19, but this period of time won’t last forever. All of us behind the Summer Swing Triple Crown (Jack & Jill O'Rama 2020, Wild Wild Westie 2020, and Swingtacular: The Galactic Open 2020), are staying cautiously optimistic about our events this summer and we want to give you guys something to look forward to - and something to look forward to risk free!
As dance organizers, we realize that there’s an uncertainty to booking future events - and we want to give you the opportunity to book “worry free”:
So along with most airlines’ current policies of waiving change fees and generous hotel cancellation policies... all three events will be offering a “worry free” refundable weekend pass policy.
If
* The event cancels
* You’re sick
* You are a vulnerable population (older than 65,
immune-compromised)
* You are around someone from a vulnerable population
* You simply don’t want to travel during this time
You have the option to roll your pass to next year, OR to receive a full refund *(minus any non-refundable transaction fee that may apply). This new policy applies to your competition fees AND also up until the day before the event starts.
I’m sure you’re asking “Why not wait until you’re sure you’re going to go to buy your pass?” - As event organizers, we can tell you that we still need to plan. We need to know if we’re planning for a 200 or 1200 person event - or anywhere in between. This helps us plan for the summer and bring to you the programs that we’ve come to enjoy year after year.
So enjoy planning for your summer “worry-free” - at least when it comes to your dance events! We’ll see you on the dance floor!
