Registration rules and selection criteria:

​

• Registration options: followers and leaders. While we recognize that many people are dual role dancers, overwhelming majority typically fall primarily into leader or follower categories, based on how much they dance each role. Please choose the role you feel is most appropriate for you. 

• While we do not accept couple registrations, if you are attending the event with a person without whom you would/could not attend, please both indicate who your partner is, so that we may make sure your and your partner are both accepted at the same time. Please note, that we do need both of you to register, so that we receive all the necessary information.

• Registrations are primarily First Come First Served, but not only.

• We will be sending acceptance letters at the rate we are receiving registrations and are able to match up the number of leaders and followers. If you informed us that you are registering together with someone, we will only accept you both once we receive both registrations.

• While dance level is important, good floor craft in a "small" studio is more so. A veteran can cause more havoc in the line-of-dance, than a total beginner. As such, we do not need to know how long you have danced, just expect you to be comfortable dancing in a dual or even triple ronda. 

• The studio can accept a maximum of about 100 dancers, and we will split registrations into approximately 53% followers and 47% leaders. Realistically we expect between 70 and 80 attendees, based on our Helsinki Milonga Weekend-experiences. If we have enough participants, we can expand into the neighbouring space, as we do during Helsinki Milonga Weekend, so there would be enough places to sit and rest, and to socialize. ​

• Anyone with money saved in Amigos del Tango from past events will be able to apply those funds towards this event. Please indicate in the registration form if you know, or think, you still have money saved in, and we will check the balance sheet before sending your acceptance letter.

 

After registration:

​

• After you fill in the form, you will receive an immediate automatic response, that the system has received your registration. If you do not receive this response confirming your registration, you must have inputted your email incorrectly. Please write to us at midsummertango@gmail.com to correct us, as all your acceptance letters would also go awry.

• We will send acceptance letters as soon as we have equal pairs - your acceptance letter will have payment instructions along with your personalized reference number. 

• Final confirmation of your participation will be sent right after we have confirmed payment for the marathon. We should be able to accept payments through Stripe, Bank Transfers, and Paypal. All transfer-related expenses are your responsibility. Revolut and Wise may also be a possibility.

• Stripe process is automated - if you choose to pay with Bank Transfer or Paypal, it may take over a week for us to confirm receipt of your payment. If you wish to speed up this process, you can let us know once you've made a payment. 

• After your registration is confirmed, please, do not forget to press “Going” button in the Facebook event, to follow all the updates of the marathon news.

  • Our registration system is automatic - so you may get a payment reminder even after you have paid, if we have not had a chance to confirm your payment, which we can do only once a week. The amount of the time between and until the reminders begin, is also very short, and unfortunately we are unable to adjust it. ​

  • Registering and then delaying paying is not fair towards those on the waiting list - they might miss out of cheap tickets.

​

Registration cancellation:

​​

• Before having made a payment, please write to us at midsummertango@gmail.com, to inform us of your withdrawal.

• After payment, if you are cancelling your participation before May 30th, you will receive a 100 % refund (minus bank transfer fees) - you may also choose to save the money with the association towards any future events.

• In case you are cancelling your participation between June 1st and June 15th you will only receive a 50 % refund.

• No refunds are possible for cancellations made after June 15th (We highly recommend  obtaining travel insurance, which would help reimburse you your lost expenses, in case of illness or other travel related problems, that keep you from attending).

• In case you are cancelling your participation and have a friend to take your place - please email us at midsummertango@gmail.com and provide us with their full name and a way to contact them. Please arrange between yourselves the payment/reimbursement from one to the other.
