Information about the 2020 Weymouth Dance Festival
Many people are asking us if we are going to run the Festival this year. This is obviously difficult for us to answer in the current situation. We remain hopeful, however, so entries are now open.
We hope you will appreciate that a decision will have to be made nearer the time on whether the Festival is able to be run, depending on the Government guidance. We shall take entries and collate them as usual prior to making this decision.
Please note payment can only be made via cheque or postal order (P/O) this year. If you wish to pay by P/O please include a stamped addressed envelope with your entry. If the Festival does not take place we will send you your P/O back so you can return it to the Post Office for a refund.
We will then update this website with any further decisions which are made.
Please carefully read the letter to teachers as this details some different processes to entering this year.
Teachers do not need to sign entry forms this year. Instead, please make sure you have included your teacher's name and contact details on your entry form. The Committee will then contact teachers to confirm entry.
We are accepting group entries without the individual group members' names.
If you have further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
