Registration Changes - If you change your registration, your fee will be calculated using the fee schedule in effect on the date of the change - note the date of your original postmark.

To contact the Registrar: 1119 Cedar St., Berkeley, CA 94702 You can leave messages at any hour, but between 9am and 9pm PST is best if you need to speak with Samantha in person. She can also be reached at (show phone) or (show email address) Fee Information (Refer to this section while filling out registration form): Determining a method for calculating camp fees has always presented an interesting dilemma! If we charge a fixed amount for each day of camp, some people would need to work many more hours than others because people are paid vastly different amounts of money for their work. If we charge a percentage of income, people earning more feel they are subsidizing people who are earning less. Our goals are fairness, paying our bills, and simplicity. What follows is our current best effort at meeting these goals. There are several ways of sharing the cost of a day at camp. Here are three possible ways:
Adult and Young Adult Daily Fees
Young People's Daily Fees
Adjustments - Nobody knows your life like you do. The choices we all make around earning money, contributing to a better world, and fulfilling our responsibilities while dancing through life are a maze. Adjust your daily rate upward based on assets (owning property, having a trust fund or inherited wealth, a retirement plan, etc.) or downward based on responsibilities (healthcare, tuition, dependents, unusual losses, etc.) Consider what DNE means to you and others. Pay the amount you feel is appropriate. Please do not choose a fee below $43 ($38 for young adults) or less than what you earn in one hour, whichever is greater. What do we mean by "what you earn in one hour?" - In calculating your hourly earning, include time you spend in preparation, accounting, phone work, etc. For example, if you earn $40 per hour to teach a class and you take an hour preparation time for each hour of paid work, your hourly rate is actually $20. Take the adjusted number and place it on the line for Daily Fee, where you will multiply it by the number of days you will attend camp. DNE Future Fund - This year's adult fees include a $1/day charge for the DNE Future Fund, intended to help us build a reserve for the future. If you object you may reduce your daily fee by $1. If you cannot afford $43 per day ($38 for young adults), you will need to apply for Work Exchange / Scholarship. Please see that section. DNE Membership - This is a chance to make a clear choice that DNE is important to you. Yes, you have your neighborhood, work, family, friends. Yet, DNE is where you dance and grow; where there's a joyous past and a hopeful future to work and play together as men and women, kids and adults-dancers. There's a small work requirement and financial commitment. Even if you are not coming to summer camp, use the registration form to renew or to become a DNE member. Remember, membership is an annual commitment. You have to renew even if you have been a member before.
