How to Register
Registration is a 2-step process:
1) Fill out our registration form. At any time during lottery registration, fill out our online form.
At the close of lottery registration on October 31st, if we have more people registered in the Youth or Young-at-Heart category than we have space to admit, we will hold a lottery for that category and return results in the first week of November. We will be able to admit more people this year (yay!) because the event is virtual, but will still have a cap to keep the event a manageable size. If you don't get in during the lottery, we'll add you to our waitlist in the order that your name was drawn during the lottery. Read more about the lottery, and about why we switched from first-come first-serve to lottery admission.
2) Confirm and pay. If you got in, we'll send an email letting you know. We'll ask you to confirm your attendance by going to Dancerfly.com. There you’ll be able to pay an amount of your choice on a sliding scale (including a $0 option). Once you receive confirmation from Dancerfly, you'll be officially registered.
We will also be selling T-shirts and new merchandise including mugs and pint glasses! For T-shirts, you will place your order through CustomInk’s website. For mugs and pint glasses you'll order through Dancerfly when you register. We'll include info and links for merch orders in emails.

If you register after lottery registration closes, and your age bracket is full, we’ll add you to the waitlist on a first come, first serve basis.
Cost
YTS this year will be sliding scale. When we email you with lottery results, we will send information on our operating costs to help inform your choices regarding what to contribute this year. We encourage you to contribute to our costs as you are able. If you’re able to contribute $0, that’s also great! Please feel free to buy merchandise even if you are not able to contribute to our costs.
We are anticipating our costs this year will primarily include staff compensation, virtual platform, live tech support for attendees, and accessibility features.

Families With Children
We encourage children to attend! Attendees under the age of 13 must have supervision of an adult chaperone in order to use our online platforms. When you register, list the adult and child together in the “Who’s Coming With You?” section. Please contact registration@youthtradsong.org if you have questions about registering your family. Adults can serve as chaperone for more than one child, though each child needs a named chaperone. Children aged 13 and up do not need a chaperone.
Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel your registration, please let us know as soon as possible so we can admit individuals from the waitlist. If you would like a refund of your sliding scale contribution, please contact us at registration@youthtradsong.org.
