Block registration
The block is the smallest unit that you register to the festival. It consists of 4 classes each having 1.5 hours. The class subject codes includes the block codes in its 4,5,6th characters.
We have 5 maestro couple teaching in the festival. Since each block has 4 classes, one of the maestro couple do not teach in the blocks you regsiter. Please visit the general festival program or maestro based class program to see which couples teach in which blocks.
The blocks are built around special subjects such as, Saloon, Technical, Combinations, etc. The idea is to taste the same subject from the different maestros and develop yourself in the way you feel comfortable. The below is the list of the blocks.
