What if I can't stay the whole time?

We offer both full-time and part-time registration options.  If you only want to stop by for the party, you can even register at the door!

 

What if I want to stay longer?

Unfortunately, our time is limited but if you're hoping to extend your vacation, we greatly recommend exploring the Black Mountain and/or Asheville area. 

 

Is smoking allowed?

The inside of all buildings are non-smoking.

 

Is alcohol allowed?

Alcohol is allowed in Glen Rock Inn and The Barn, plus inside the bedrooms at Assembly Inn.

 

What should I bring?

If you plan to stay onsite, including Glen Rock Inn and Assembly Inn, you do not need to bring bedding or towels; these are provided by Montreat. You may wish to bring an extra towel, and DO bring toiletries, flashlight, bug spray, sunscreen, umbrella, water bottle, and anything else that would make your stay comfortable. Also, bring clothes for all possible weather conditions - from warm to cold!

NOTE: We are fragrance free.  Please refrain from using highly perfumed or fragranced personal products while at the workshop.

 

Is there parking?

The conference center has plenty of parking lots and spaces.  You may park in any marked space.

 

How do meals work?

We hire our own chef!  Catered buffets will be provided by our chef at the Glen Rock Inn dining room for Friday dinner and Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our chef will do her best to accommodate folks with allergies and provide vegetarian entrees, so please indicate this on the registration form. A grab-and-go breakfast will be provided for Sunday morning. Meal times will be posted on the Playshop schedule on our web site.  For those with dietary restrictions, the menu ingredients will be posted at meals.  If you wish to bring snacks or supplements, Glen Rock Inn has refrigerators for food storage. 

 

What is the dance space like?

Our dance space, called The Barn, is a large, airy gymnasium with a lovely wooden floor. It has restrooms and water fountains.

 

​What is there to do when I'm not dancing?

In addition to the Playshop programming, Montreat offers walking and hiking trails.

 

What if I don't need accommodations?

If you're local or have made your own housing arrangements you are very welcome to come the day camp starts to register for workshops and parties.   Please be aware that if you want to join us for meals, you must preregister and pay by the posted deadline for all meal options.

 

Where can I get more dance action?

If you love to dance as much as we do, we recommend you check out some other dance events as well.  Folkmoot, Dancing in the North Carolina Triangle area, and Dance Asheville are some of our favorites.

 

What are Artist Tables?

Artist tables are places where you can buy or sell crafted items.  If you would like to sell your work at Playshop, an 8 x 4 artists table is included in the full-time registration fee - just indicate your interest on the registration form.  Tables are available for $20 to part-time dancers and non-dancers, so be sure to invite your artisan friends!  Table space is limited and available on a first come first serve basis, with priority given to full-time registrations.
