Specials FAQ

May I join the club weekend?

The club weekend is an internal A- and C- weekend for members only. Unfortunately, we are unable to invite non-member guests to this event.

Where do the dances take place?

Unless noted otherwise, all special dances take place in Olpe.

How much does it cost?

For prices of the events see the respective flyers. Please note that the standard fee covers standard accommodation. For other room types surcharges or discounts apply, see the respective flyer for details.

What are the different room types?

Standard accommodation is a double room. Booking of suites (for a discount) or single rooms (for a surcharge) is possible but subject to limited availability.

A suite consists of one double and one single room which share shower and WC. Regular double and single rooms each have ensuite shower and WC.

How do I pay?

For holders of German bank accounts only, we offer the possiblity to pay by direct debit, see the registration form on the downloads menu!

Guests from countries of the Euro zone are asked to transfer the money to our bank account until the registration deadline, which is usually about six weeks ahead of the dance.

Please transfer the money to:
Triangle Squares e.V.
Postbank Essen
Bank code: 36010043
Account: 544743432
IBAN: DE74 3601 0043 0544 7434 32
BIC: PBNKDEFF

For citizens of other countries we offer the following procedure in order to avoid costs for money transfers: Please send a cheque for 30 EUR (or equivalent sum in local currency) payable to Triangle Squares, along with your registration to our registration contact. You are asked to pay the full sum in cash on your arrival and you will get back your cheque in return.

Do I have to pay if I am on the waitlist?

No, participants on the waitlist do not have to pay initially. Only if you receive a notification from us that you moved up, the following rules apply: Payment is due immediately (if the pre-registration deadline has already passed) or is due until the pre-registration deadline.

How much do I have to pay?

The price for the weekend is given on the flyer. Please pay the price for the type of accommodation that you chose on your registration form. (This applies for direct debit as well as for bank transfers.) Should your primary option for accommodation not be available in the final room assignment, you will be refunded the price difference or will have to pay the respective surcharge. Usually we handle the payment or refund of those differences in cash during the weekend.

Why do I have to pre-register?

Pre-registration is required because of limited space on all of our weekend specials, so please register early by e-mail or letter if you intend to participate.

Can I cancel my pre-registration?

Send your cancellation request to our registration contact. On receipt of your request, we will pay back money that we already got from you. Please note that we will charge you with a cancellation fee of 30 EUR if you cancel your pre-registration later than six weeks ahead of the dance. Further costs will only be charged if they occur.

When may I pre-register for a dance?

During the dance weekends, we issue the flyer of next year's special of the same dance level on Saturday at 2 p.m., at the same time the flyer is published here on the web site. From that time on pre-registration is open, and can be done either in writing (also on-site in Olpe) or by e-mail, registrations are taken in the order of their arrival. Unfortunately, we cannot take into account registrations that arrive before that time.

May I still register for dances marked as "fully booked"?

When a weekend is marked as "fully booked", we keep a waitlist. If you like, you can register and have yourself waitlisted, to get a chance to move up and eventually get a free place.

Where do I send my pre-registration?

Please send all pre-registrations for weekend specials to our registration contact.

Does a pre-registration guarantee me a place for the weekend?

Once your pre-registration has been confirmed, your place for this weekend is guaranteed, but only if we have received a payment before the pre-registration deadline or if a successful direct debit could be processed or if we got a cheque as deposit.

At that point of time, any pre-registrations not backed by payment become void, and people from the waitlist move up.

If it should be necessary to cancel the event for any reason, all money that we already received will be paid back. Please note that no legal claim for the execution of the event or to your participation shall be constituted by a pre-registration.

What dress code applies for the weekend?

For Saturday night we recommend traditional square dance attire, optionally also for Friday night. On all other sessions casual dress is sufficient. As you are likely to sweat a lot, we recommend bringing along sufficient extra clothes for changing. Fresh casual clothing is definitely preferred over sweaty traditional attire.

You are using a computer programme at your weekends?

That’s right. At all our A and C dance weekends in Olpe we are using the club’s own single rotation programme. A quick guide is provided under "Downloads".

I have additional questions!

Please direct any additional questions to our registration contact.
