Registration
How does the registration work?
Registrations for Full Party Pass will be available from 19:00 (GMT+1) on Wednesday 1 May 2024, via DanceCloud. Payment must be made via DanceCloud at point of sale in order to secure your place.
Saturday Passes and Friday Night tickets will be available via DanceCloud on Wednesday 5 June at 19:00 (GMT+1).
Do I need to register with a partner?
No. DanceCloud automatically balances leads and follows so that we have a good ratio of both roles for social dancing. If there is an imbalance of roles, you will be placed on a waiting list until dancers of the opposite role register, at which point you will be notified that your ticket has been released to you. You must then make payment within the set timeframe provided in the DanceCloud communication, in order to secure your place. Non-payment within this time scale means that your ticket will be released to the next dancer in the queue and you will be moved to the end of the queue.
What if I dance switch roles?
Switch tickets will be available for ELX 2024 via DanceCloud. If you register as a switch dancer, you must be proficient at both lead and follow roles and be committed to dancing equally between both roles across the weekend. This means there won’t be a lead/follow imbalance at the event, and everyone can have a great time!
Venues
Where does ELX take place?
ELX 2024 will be taking place in various venues around Edinburgh City Centre. See our full schedule for more information, or our venues page for a full list of addresses.
Hosting & Accommodation
Where would you advise to book accommodation?
Edinburgh city centre is fairly small and has a good public transport system that runs close to all of our venues. Accommodation anywhere central would give good access to all event venues, by foot or by bus.
Will there be hosting? How does it work?
We will set up a Facebook hosting group so that visitors looking for hosting can try to find a local Edinburgh host. Although we can’t guarantee that everyone who wants hosting will find a suitable host, we’ll try our best to get local hosts into the group so that you can chat to each other and make arrangements.
ELX will not coordinate hosting directly.

I can no longer attend, can I cancel my registration and get a refund?
