Don't forget to add your ELX 2024 T-Shirt to your order from the extras tab here in DanceCloud, before you check out.
A note on switch tickets - ELX is offering switch tickets this year, but please only sign up for a switch ticket if you are proficient in both leading and following and are looking forward to dancing both roles across the whole weekend. This ensures that we won't end up with an imbalance of one role, and everyone will be able to have a great time with lots of dances.
We will have Friday night tickets and Saturday passes available in June for those who are not able to join us for the full weekend.
By purchasing a ticket to ELX 2024, attendees confirm that they have read and fully accept the ELX Terms and Conditions and the Code of Conduct. These can be found on our website along with some useful Frequently Asked Questions, at www.edinburghlindyexchange.co.uk
We can't wait to see everyone in Edinburgh in September!
