Do I need to register with a partner?

  • We believe in freedom to experiment with your body in dancing, so there will be no need to register with a partner, as we encourage everyone to come and try out whatever role they wish in dancing with or without a partner.

Can't make it anymore / Refund / Pass transfer

  • Once the payment for an event pass is made, the UPROOTED Bucharest will not apply any total or partial refund, except in case of a serious medical urgency, which occurred in the last 7 days before the festival, based on doctor’s notes or other supporting papers. We consider serious medical urgency: accidents, bone lesions and/or bone fractures, sudden and serious conditions requiring hospitalization.
  • We don’t consider serious medical urgency injuries caused weeks before the event, with medical discharge date the day the event starts. In these non-serious medical urgency cases, we recommend participants to organize for pass transfer ASAP and also inform UPROOTED Bucharest organizers at jazzrootsbucharest@gmail.com. The UPROOTED Bucharest team will do their best to support your transfer. In case the pass transfer will not materialize due to lack of interest from others to take over your reserved spot, UPROOTED Bucharest organizers will not be held responsible and will not be obliged to refund.
  • Passes can be transferred to someone else using the pass link, where one can fill-in the new person's details (Full name, email).
