Dear MAC Competitor,

Thank you for your interest and registration in MAC 2027.

I want to remind everyone who has not yet paid or registered, that the Early Bird Registration fees end on Sept. 30, 2027.

In order to receive the Early Bird fees, you have to be registered and PAID UP prior to the end of Wednesday Sept. 30, 2027. The discount you are receiving for being a USA Dance member has already been processed. The system takes off the 10% for the per-dance fees automatically, and I have reduced the Competitor Pass fees for USA Dance members by 10%.

You can pay via PayPal through the O2CM system, or through Zelle by using the tagline "themacny". Paying via Zelle will save you the credit card charges.

Finally, in order to maintain your discount, you will need to send me your renewed USA Dance membership card for 2027 by Dec. 1, 2026. Any renewal after Nov. 1, 2026 is good through 2027.

If you are registering for a WDSF event, please go to https://my.wdsf.org/Competitions and register and pay through the WDSF system.

I hope that you have a great Autumn, and I'm looking forward to seeing you at MAC 2027.
