Schedule

This is the draft schedule for DJam 2012. This will be updated regularly and you will view a copy of the latest version when you arrive at DJam. You can print this out if you like. As we want to do our bit to save the planet, there will be no hard copies available at DJam.

So much choice!

You can pick and mix from up to 6 different exciting classes that are on at any one point. There's so much to choose from! Take a look at the Taster Classes and Seminars.

Which classes do I go to?

Here's an example: if you've booked for Lindy Hop Level B, this means you:

1. have a place in Lindy Hop Level B
2. can turn up to any Taster class or Seminar without the need to book
3. can turn up to any Blues or Balboa class as long as there is room. Dancers who registered for Blues or Balboa have priority for these classes

This system allows you to:
1. have a definite place in your chosen Core Track
2. try other classes subject to space availability

There are up to 6 classes going on at any point so you should be able to find at least one class you like!

To help you make travel plans:
