Team Directors Info
On behalf of The Canada Salsa Congress, thank you for being part of this Annual event.
GENERAL INFORMATION FOR DIRECTORS:
Maximum time for routines: 5 minutes for teams, 4 minutes for student groups and amateur teams, 3 minutes for couples.
Time restrictions will be enforced, please respect these time limits and choreograph accordingly. Please remember that your costumes, music and choreography should be appropriate for all ages as there will be young performers attending this event.
Again this year we will be using our online registration system for all performers and instructors. A new page has been created on our congress website where performers and team directors can log in and list their performer’s names and pay for performer passes with a credit card. Please note that ALL teams, instructors, performers and student performers MUST register through this system. The online performer registration is easy to use, secure and will automatically sync up with our registration database so that everything is quicker and easier for both you and us! Please note that photos are NOT required this year - we will be using clear wristbands for all performers.
INSTRUCTIONS:
To register yourself or your team, go to the congress site and click on Artists/Performer Registration. All teams have been sent their user name and password. Follow the instructions. Please note that performers must be prepared with their contact info and credit card info when they log in. You cannot register without paying for your pass with a credit card. Team directors are welcome to submit all the info for themselves and their team or they may delegate the online registration process to one of their performers or they may have each performer input their own info.
