If you feel you are out of place at the level where you originally bought your pass you can change your level.

In order to do that you have to personally speak with the teacher at whom you wish to attend class and get his/her approval before attending. If that teacher has agreed to the change, then you can speak with the people from the organization team and get a new bracelet indicating your new level.

This works the other way around as well. The teacher is authorize to change your level if he/she feels that it is necessary.

Please note that your level change request can be rejected if it would bring a big imbalance between leader and follower numbers.

Because this is (for the moment) a small festival NO auditions will be held. Please choose the level that you feel is appropriate for your knowledge and skills (as well as determination).

Please note that the teacher can demote you in level if he/she feels that it is necessary.

According to Romanian Law, everybody is required to have ID, so it is necessary to take it with you at
all times.

Please see the “I haven’t received a registration confirmation/completion email” section above. By contacting us as described there we will send you another email with your registration completion.

Please note that you have to PRINT the order completion email and present it when arriving at the festival.

It’s no problem, you just need to tell us your name and ID number and we will track your payment in our data base.

Please follow the procedure procedure stated at “I haven’t received a registration confirmation/completion email” above if you lose your confirmation before arriving in Bucharest.

If you lost your e-ticket after arriving here, just speak with us in person at the registration desk.

After registering you will receive email regarding your registration, payment and an e-ticket.

Please see the “What happens next” section above for more information.
