Audition Materials
The last day to turn in your audition video to receive consideration for the early bird-rate is January 10th. Dancers must commit by March 15.
Anyone who sends in their audition materials after January 10th will be subject to the full tuition rate. Anyone committing to the program after March 15th will pay the full tuition rate.
No one will be accepted past May 15 and this date is subject to change based on our program filling up. We are working to offer this intensive in-person/hybrid and will be following strict guidelines to ensure the safety of the students and faculty. These guidelines can and do change and are directed from university and the health department. The School of Dance must comply with these procedures...so when we are full...we are full.
