better experience for you.

Disclaimer
|
Lindy Hop is an
aerobic activity, and you take part at your own risk. Those at the Newcastle
Swing Thing and Newcastle University cannot take responsibility for any injury
caused whilst participating in the camp. A copy of the camp's risk
assessment can be viewed here.
It is also your resposibility to make us aware of any Medical conditions/Special requirements/Food Allergies you may have which need to be taken into consideration. |

Registration Cancellations
|
| Up until four
weeks before the camp begins (1st October 2011), we will be happy to give a
refund should you wish to cancel your registration, with a full refund. If you
decide to cancel your regstration after that and before 14 days prior to the
commencement of the camp, you will be entitled to a half refund. Unfortunately
we are not able to offer refunds after this period. |

Registration Transferring
|
| Should you
be unable to attend the camp, and wish to transfer your registration to
someone else, please notify us immediately, as transfer
of registration will only be valid with prior agreement from the organisers,
and must be completed 14 days before the camp. All transfers should be to
someone of the same role (lead/follow), and level. Initially, it will be
your resposibility to find a replacement. Should you not be able to find a
replacement, and if it is the case that a waiting list exists, then the
organisers would suggest a transfer to a member of that list. |

Level 4 Auditions
|
Please note that we will be holding auditions for level 4 after registration on the
Saturday morning. (29th October, 10:30am, hall to be confirmed on registration).
Nobody registering for level 4 is exempt from auditioning.
Those registered for level 4 who do not attend the auditions, will be unable to attend the level 4 classes. Those people will be offered a place in the level 3 classes.
No refund will be offered under such circumstances (It is YOUR responsibility to be on time for the auditions, which will only take place once during the weekend, as previously stated.)
There will also be an opportunity for those people who register into level 3, to audition on the Saturday morning, for level 4. This is purely optional.
If you intend only to participate on the sunday, and wish to take the
advanced classes, you will have to attend the auditions on the saturday.
The auditions are not as formal as you will find at other camps, we are
including them simply to help you as well as ourselves. We wish for the
advanced stream to be as hard work as I'm sure they'd expect, so the auditions
are a good way for the teachers to get an idea of how you dance at varying
speeds, and can pitch their classes accordingly.
Please remember, these are not formal auditions, you will not be dancing out on
your own.

Additional
|
Once you have registered for a certain level, you must remain in that level. Under no circumstance will you be permitted to attend the classes of another level (higher or lower). This will be policed via random** wristband checks throughout the weekend. After registration, movement between levels* will only be permitted upon consent of the camp organisers. Please note that this may only occur between workshops, hence not disrupting teaching. In such cases you will be asked to consider the level you wish to move into and made aware of the ramifications of such actions.
Once you have registered for a certain level, you must remain in that level. Under no circumstance will you be permitted to attend the classes of another level. This will be policed via random** wristband checks throughout the weekend.
*Movement from level 3 to level 4 after the auditions will not be permitted.
**There's no way we can do it randomly, so team members will be patrolling each session to investigate. |
