How does Accessible Pricing work?

  • If paying for a Weekend or Nocturnal Pass would be a financial hardship, you can choose to pay less than the listed price. During registration, select Accessible Pricing and use the slider to select the amount you will pay. The maximum you can pay is your Pass price; the minimum you can pay is $0 or the amount currently in our Accessible Pricing Fund, if it is less than your Pass price. The Accessible Pricing Fund is funded directly by donations from higher-income community members. We may also hold a fundraiser to obtain additional funds.

Why is there work trade AND volunteering? What’s the difference?

  • Work-trade is different from volunteering, and we offer both. Work-trade means you are choosing to trade your labor for a specific dollar amount off of your ticket price. Volunteering means you are choosing to offer your labor for free in support of the event. The kinds of work you can sign up to do through work-trade and volunteering are the same. To learn more, check out our Work Trade & Volunteering page.

When will class registration open? How will I know when to register?

  • Class registration is open! When you buy a Weekend Pass, you will receive an email with a link to select your classes.

What are “meta” classes?

  • Meta classes are non-dance classes on topics relating to fusion dancing. They might fall under a cultural umbrella, such as a history of certain dance or musical styles. Or they might be practical information on organizing, teaching, or DJing.

How can I support Hi-Fi?

  • Interact with us on social media! If you have disposable income, consider donating to our Accessible Pricing Fund by buying a Sponsor Ticket or donating directly! Talk and share info about Hi-Fi with your friends! Sign up to work or volunteer before, during, or after the event!

I have an accessibility need and would like to learn more about the support offered at this event.

I hear there’s a performance showcase…. What is that, and how can I participate?

  • We LOVE celebrating each other and watching the incredible artistry our community can bring to the dance floor. We want to lift up dancers at all experience levels and in all styles of dance represented across our broader community. The show will be held before the Sunday evening dance, so that we can take some time to focus on performance separately from social dancing. We may also have tickets available to JUST the showcase for non-dancing friends and family of performers!
