ONE CHAMPIONSHIP

 Parents:  $tba

BOTH CHAMPIONSHIPS:

Parents:  $tba

INCLUDES:

• air travel
• hotel - please note we pay per person (not  by the room like Canada)
• ground transportation to/from airport in Belgium

WHAT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE:

• Covid testing and related travel requirements if applicable
• Travel, health, and cancellation insurance.  Most credit cards and many employers have better insurance than we can provide.  If you need suggestions, we can let you know what we use personally when we travel.
• Any local travel expenses related to rehearsals and getting to the Canadian airport, etc.  The dancers may be able to 'bunk' with a local dancer to save on lodging during rehearsal weekends if they want.  If you are local and want to host a friend from the team, let us know and we can set it up, or you can volunteer to the family directly or on TeamSnap.
• Leisure in Belgium
• Any additional (optional) Teamwear 

• Dancers MUST travel with the team
• You cannot use ‘travel points’ for World Championships- sorry, we cannot arrange that with the airline
• Parents/guardians/siblings/friends may stay with the team if you are travelling with the team ONLY.  
• If parents want to travel ON THEIR OWN, they are responsible for their own flights, hotel and ground transportation. Please, DO NOT ask for help with those arrangements – We are not the travel agent.  We can only submit the dancers and those travelling WITH the team. You will not likely be able to book a room at the same hotel as the team as you will not be on the list that is sent to the organizer. These lists are submitted well in advance of travel and other countries competing are also trying to book rooms. You may be able to find a smaller hotel nearby.

• TEAM TRAVEL will depart 2 days prior to competition and return 1 day after.  

• EXTENDED STAY option will depart with the Team Travel prior to competition and return one week after the modern//contemporary competition

• If you are going for Ballet/Jazz and are not competing in Modern/Contemporary but want to stay until the end, choose the full BJMC travel regardless of acceptance.  That way your hotel will be paid for the entire stay.

TEAM DEPOSIT

Once accepted to the team, we require a $200 deposit to secure your position.  You may e-transfer your deposit or pay by credit card when you register through Amilia and make your first payment.

WAYS TO PAY

• CREDIT CARD via the Registration Portal.  There is a 1% service fee added to the first payment.  Installments may be chosen.
• E-TRANSFER  to canadaworlddance@gail.com.  PLEASE INCLUDE NAME OF DANCER/PROVINCE/TEAM IN NOTES SECTION.  No fees for this unless your bank charges you one.  The password was sent in your registration email.  Contact us if you do not know the passworld to send with your etransfer.  Your account will be updated after payment taken
• CHEQUE: post-dated cheques made out to TEAM CANADA DANCE and sent by registered mail/courier
• PAY PAL: a 3% service charge that you will need to add to the amount per transaction.  The benefit to this is that you may mix payment methods and pay when you can.

We prefer sponsors to pay the dancer directly as the money isn't going to Team Canada Dance.  If they would rather pay directly, have them contact us and we can make arrangements.  There is also an option for them to make a sponsor payment on Amilia or through our PayPal with the dancers name/team/province in the comment section.

 A great way to offset some of the travel cost is to form a fundraising committee within the team.  This not only helps those families in need but also promotes team bonding.

Individual dancers may seek sponsorships from local businesses to help as well.  In the past, we have had several dancers pay for their entire family this way!  

Finally, get yourself in the news!  But before you do, check with us to see if other dancers in your area  are on this team or one of the other ones so you all get some exposure!
