SDCCS 2025 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

In an effort to offer dancers a well balanced week of dancing, we have made modifications to the schedule of events that was included in the 2024 SDCCS Kamloops program. While the dates of our event have remained unchanged, we have modified the individual events for each day.

We appreciate your understanding and support with this change, and remain available should you have any questions. We look forward to welcoming you all to Ottawa in July, 2025!

The hotels included under today's reservation links are currently sold out!

As one commenter put so eloquently, booking a hotel today was akin to buying Taylor Swift concert tickets! So much so, our hotel websites were overloaded with all the traffic.

We'd like to thank you all for your patience as we navigated the booking system for each hotel. We are happily overwhelmed with the response, and are excited to learn so many of you will be joining us in Ottawa next July!

Rest assured, those who were unable to book a hotel today will have another opportunity to do so in the coming weeks as additional hotels will be added to our hotel reservation block. Please keep an eye on our website and social media pages for additional information.

Hotel availability update:

The Westin Ottawa has rooms with a king size bed and optional roll away bed available (July 4th-July 10th)

DoubleTree by Hilton has rooms with a king size bed and pull out couch available (from July 4th-10th)

Homewood Suites has rooms with a king bed and sleeper sofa available (from July 4th-10th)

There are no more rooms available under the SDCCS 2025 booking for Les Suites.

We will continue to provide updates availability changes. Again, thank you everyone for your patience.

For those in the process of booking a hotel for SDCCS 2025, please note that due to the high volume of people looking to book a room, the hotels' systems are being overloaded.

The Westin Ottawa is sold out for July 3rd, however bookings remain for July 4th to July 10th.
