The 2012 North American Championships will be held in Chicago Illinois on July 3-7 2012. The 2 host hotels, Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers, and the Hyatt Regency Chicago will be open for dancer bookings beginning Tuesday November 1.
Dancers who are competing at the 2011 Western Canadian Oireachtas in Edmonton on November 4-5 have an opportunity to qualify for the 2012 North American Championships. All Open Championship dancers, regardless of whether they recall at the Oireachtas, are also eligible to compete at the North American Championships.
The reserved room rate is $159. plus taxes. At the time of making your reservation, a 2-night non-refundable deposit will be taken. As has been the case over the past few years at the North American Championships, anyone not staying in the designated hotel(s) will be charged a Facility Usage Fee of $100 per person per day. The purpose of the fee is to ensure that the event meets the hotel room numbers to cover the costs of the hotel space.

Do we know where the dancing will take place? Which hotel? Might be fun to try to have all of us in the same hotel. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIn the November issue of IDM is an article about the NANs 2012! It says in there that the dancing will take place at the Sheraton, and the awards will be presented at the Hyatt.

Apparently, the Hyatt has Queen beds and the Sheraton has doubles. Trip advisor has lots of info. on both.
ReplyDeleteAs of today (November 6th)there are still "deluxe" (view of the lake or river) rooms available at the Sheraton for the same rate as a regular room. The two hotels are across the river from each other, not right next door, so consider that when you are deciding where you want to stay. According to Google maps, it is one mile by car, or a 6 minute walk.
