Registrations openPlanning to dance at this year's national championships? Registrations are now open! Just head to our website to complete the form. Please remember that registering to dance does not give you entry to the event - you must purchase tickets. Entries close on Monday 18 September. Register and WINLadies - make sure you're one of the first 100 couples registered to dance and you could be in the draw for a special treat from MyTreat. MyTreat sends subscription boxes of beautiful handpicked body and beauty treats, or two pairs of beautiful underwear, to busy women all over New Zealand and Australia. They're excited to be supporting the NZ Open Dance Championships, and are giving away two three month subscriptions. Booking your accommodationWe've negotiated a special rate at the Ibis Hamilton Tainui Hotel for people attending the NZODC, and are holding 30 standard citywide rooms at this hotel. Next month our contract with the Ibis requires us to release 50 per cent of the rooms that haven't been booked. If you're keen to stay at the Ibis, you should make your booking soon. To be eligible for the special rate, you need to mention the group name NZ Dance Champs – Block ID 1024200. Info for studiosJust for studios, we've uploaded to our website an NZODC poster and selection of JPEGs you can use to promote this year's event to your dancers. Email us if you'd like hard copies of the poster printed and mailed to you! Friends of the NZODCSponsorship and donations are vital to the success of most events, including this one. To make it even easier for businesses and individuals to support our event, we’ve launched Friends of the NZODC. If you know somebody as passionate about dance as you are – they might be a business or an individual – please share this information with them or encourage them to get in touch with us. Becoming a Friend takes just a one off donation – anything from $50. Every Friend will receive one of our commemorative pins. And, with their permission, the New Zealand Federation of Dance Teachers will publicly acknowledge their support of this year’s NZODC although the actual amount donated will not be disclosed. How Friends will be acknowledged
