Hotel Information and Options

Dance Competition Venues
This year, dance competition will take place in two different venues directly across the street from the San Jose Marriott and within a short walk from all area hotels.
Division I and III will be in the San Jose Civic Auditorium and Division II will be held in the Montgomery Theatre. Both facilities offer a classic theatre setting with spectacular staging and audio equipment designed specifically for dancing and performances. These venues will definitely set the stage for what will be one of the most exciting FDF weekends ever. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience FDF in San Jose this January 2010.
See you in San Jose!
Important 2010 Chaperone Information:
It is very important that every dancer under the age of 18 has a designated Chaperone during the FDF weekend. This must be the official Chaperone who is responsible for either a single child or a group of up to seven dancers for the entire FDF weekend.
Agreeing to be a chaperone is a serious commitment that should not be taken lightly. Chaperones must be willing to actively oversee the children they are responsible for, so dancers, please choose a Chaperone that is willing to take on this important responsibility. As always, Chaperones will be asked to review and agree to rules and terms when registering on line. Remember, Chaperones must purchase a Full Participant package in order to have access to all events and will be the main contact person for that child or group for the entire weekend.
Dancers, please make sure that when registering for FDF on line, that you include your official Chaperone in the appropriate fields. We encourage you to confirm your Chaperones early so that when registering, you can include the correct name of the Chaperone that will be designated for you or your group during the FDF weekend.
