Membership

The calendar year membership fee (dancer and non-dancer) is $35, but you can save $10 and pay only $25 if you renew your membership by Dec 31st. Beginning January 1st, the annual membership fee is $35.

Membership Fees can be paid:

  • Electronically through Zelle (no fees)
  • In cash or check at the sign-in desk on class night
  • Online at Online Store (credit or debit cards only)

New members (or members returning after a hiatus) should ask for a registration form at the sign-in table at any Hotlanta Squares event. Renewing members do not need to complete a registration form unless they want to update their roster listing.
