We ask that dancers use our online registration process to help streamline dance registration and payment. To register for a dance please do the following:
- If you have not already done so, submit your one-time proof of vaccination to cvilleswingdance@gmail.com.
- Create a CSDS account on our Create an Account page.
- Allow time for the account manager to verify your vaccination status. You will receive an email alerting you when your account is approved. This can take up to 48 hours.
- Once your account is approved you can go to Dance Registration to register and pay for the dance.
For more information and step by step instructions see our Online Registration FAQ document.
Vaccine Verification
Submit one-time proof of your covid-19 vaccination by emailing CSDS. We recommend covering up any personal information on the vaccination card other than your full name. The CSDS Board believes vaccination is a key part to returning to social dancing and our entire Board has been vaccinated. For full information on our vaccine only events, please review the CSDS Vaccine Only Events Policies. The Charlottesville COVID vaccination center now takes walk-ins at certain times; you can schedule your appointment here.
