Housing

Housing, Shared $95 or Private $190

We have a limited number of spaces available in Heritage Halls housing units (on-campus housing), both shared and private, available Sunday through Friday night. These residence halls house two to a room, and 6 to an apartment, and are separated by gender. Private rooms are in a shared room format, with no roommate. There will not be any ‘family housing’ units available this year for married couples. If housing is needed before Sunday, there will be an additional fee. Arrangements for EARLY ARRIVAL should be made with the BYU Housing Services Office by calling (801) 422–5671. Roommate preferences must be indicated during the registration process.

Heritage Halls, located on the east side of campus (closest housing to the Wilkinson Student Center where classes are held), provides apartment–style living for tenants. Each ‘apartment’ has 3 rooms with a shared bathroom. Rooms are equipped with twin–size beds, pullout drawers, closets, and desks.

For more information about the Heritage Halls housing units and rooms, including apartment layout, please see the ‘Shared Room’ option.

Hotels

For those who would prefer to stay in a local hotel, we have arranged with some local hotels for rooms to be reserved at a special conference rate. Below is a table of hotels, rates, and a link to their Web sites. When calling to make reservations, please let them know that you are with the BYU Adult Ballroom Camp and they will give you this conference rate as long as they have rooms available. Please note that one month prior to the camp, most hotels will release the un–booked rooms from the reservation block and open them to the general public. They will still honor the BYU rates if rooms are available after this time, but to assure the rate and availability, make sure to book at least one month in advance of the camp.

Travel

Airport–to–Campus Transportation

Brigham Young University is located in Provo, Utah, approximately 50 miles south of the Salt Lake International Airport. BYU can be reached from the north or south via Interstate 15, taking exit #269 (University Parkway). A shuttle service is available for transportation from the airport to the participant’s destination. For details on this service, please contact Express Shuttle at 1–800–397–0773.

Shuttle/Parking

Brigham Young University will undergo a major campus renovation project in the next three summers which will close a main road through campus (Campus Drive, part of which goes along the east side of the Wilkinson Center) and reorient the campus to be more pedestrian friendly. Approximately 170 additional parking spaces near the Harris Fine Arts Center and Museum of Art, as well as drop–off access, will be added to the area. Construction will begin May 1 (see Phase 1 BYU 2013 Summer Construction) and is expected to continue the next three summers, with the final phase being completed in 2015. We are working with the Campus Police to make parking and travel as smooth as possible for the Adult Ballroom Dance Camp participants, but please know there will be changes from last year with parking and shuttles, and possible unforeseen inconveniences.

Dance Camp parking will be available at the Marriott Center/Football Stadium where we will provide shuttles from there to the south entrance of the Wilkinson Center, morning, noon and night. We will post more info here as soon as it becomes available. We apologize for this inconvenience.
