Membership Application

2025-2026 Application Form

Welcome to a new season of Highland Dancing.  We are offering a full schedule of events including competitions, workshops and pipe practices.

**NEW** Beginning this year, each member will be required to submit a refundable Volunteer Commitment Fee of $150.00.  This fee is fully refundable upon completion of a required number of volunteer hours.  Our new SignUp Genius account tracks your activity.  Those who volunteer for committee work will also get credit.  Parents/Guardians with only Primary dancers are exempt from the volunteer requirement; as are Executive members, Committee Chairs and Associate members.  EHDA will also accept new sponsorships on your behalf that can be credited towards your commitment.  We have options available that make it easier to complete your commitment.   Please consult the attached Welcome Package for details.

You must specifically select your Commitment Fee exempt status in the membership application before selecting your membership.  The default is the $150.00 fee for Parents/Guardians with Beginner, Novice, Intermediate or Premier dancers. 

Please have your credit/debit card ready or pay with PayPal.  You may also elect to download a PDF copy of your application at the end.  Once the application has been received and payment has been confirmed, your new EHDA membership number will be forwarded to you by email. 

Dancers aged 16 years and over during the dance year require their own membership.  Any member of the Executive or Committee chair whose dancer is 16 years or over or does not have a dancer, will require an associate membership.   

Payment made be made through PayPal or with your credit card.  Any questions, please contact me at EHDA.membership@gmail.com
