DETAILS

Accommodations – A few nearby hotels are shown on the map. No special rates are available.

Home hospitality – Please complete the housing request when registering. Housing is limited – first come, first served. All those requesting housing must have completed registration and paid in full.

Food – A nutritious assortment of snacks will be available during the weekend, with vegan and gluten-free alternatives, and Sunday lunch is provided.

Be sure to bring clean dance shoes! (super important in the winter)

Bring a lock – the center will allow us to leave locks on the lockers near the dance for the duration of the weekend and we are allowed to leave items in lockers overnight. Please lock up your valuables in either a locker or your car, as we share this space with other groups and Big Scioty cannot be responsible for possessions.

“Dress like a Snowflake” is on Sunday (optional!) – All dancers are invited to dress in their snowiest attire on Sunday! No special reason – just a local tradition that grew.

Bring items for the clothing exchange – bring any gently used dancing clothes and exchange for new-to-you items.

Pool and hot tub passes available – The Worthington Community Center has a large pool area with hot tub and a lap pool, as well as an excellent fitness area. Unlimited-use fitness center passes, good for the whole weekend can be purchased for $8. Pool hours are subject to change, and you may need to reserve a lap lane if swimming laps. Check the schedule for hot tub hours. You’ll need to provide your own swimsuit, towel, and a lock for the locker room. Aquatics schedule is here.  Fitness center info is here.
