Register
All email inquiries + applications to "La
Valle Rosada" will be shared with Brigitta + Deb.
Together, they will review these submissions, and then select
what they feel will be the best mix of dancers to invite to "La
Valle Rosada" 2017.
Enrollment for this edition of "La Valle Rosada"
is limited to a maximum of twelve (12) participating dancers.
As Brigitta + Deb make their decisions, you will be notified
by email — and if invitedyou will be asked to affirm your
commitment to join them in Ojai as a participating dancer
in the Core Weekend, March 30 - April 2, 2017:
- As detailed in the "Important Updates" section
above, this edition of "La Valle Rosada" will
be by donation, and dancers will be able to choose their own
schedule and attend Workshops + Events à la carte.
So that we can better serve all the dancers who may be interested
in attending some or all of this Spring's Rosada, participants
will be asked at registration to identify which Workshops
+ Events of the Core Weekend they expect to attend.
- Because our "by donation" approach for Spring 2017
does not require pre-payment in order to attend, thank you for
keeping in mind that space is limited ... so it is important
to keep your word.
If you tell us that you will join us for a particular à
la carte Workshop or Event, and then do not, this choice may
prevent another interested dancer from attending.
Thank you for honoring the spirit, generosity, openness and
community of "La Valle Rosada" by thoughtfully
committing only to those Workshops + Events that you will attend.
IMPORTANT: Note on Housing
- As you are completing your registration and plans for "La
Valle Rosada" 2017, please remember that — in
order to help keep costs low and provide dancers with their
maximum flexibility for how best to engage the retreat —
we do not provide housing for this event.
- This means that participating dancers will need to make arrangements
for and secure their own housing in Ojai during the Core
Weekend ... and for any Extended Visit, if they
choose to stay on for any (or all) of the optional post-weekend
outings and tango activities with Brigitta + Deb.
-
Fortunately, Ojai is a popular tourist destination which
offers a wide range of housing possibilities for visitors
to the Valley — including hotels, motels, Airbnb's and
more.
For more information on Housing Options
in Ojai, please visit our Ojai
page ...
For more details on Schedule for both the Core
Weekend - and - the optional Extended Visit,
please see our Weekend
2017 page ...
