DTCB
CELEBRATING 15 YEARS
Dancewave Through College and Beyond is Dancewave’s signature career development and college fair event. DTCB remains steadfast as a trusted New York City institution designed to empower and inform college-bound dancers with relevant skills that they need to succeed in college and in their exciting careers beyond. We’re so grateful for your trust and tremendous support towards our goals of making dance and higher education accessible to more young people.
Starting as Kids Cafe Goes to College in 2010
DANCEWAVE THROUGH COLLEGE & BEYOND
has grown to be the comprehensive event we know today. We will be expanding our offerings during this landmark year in an effort to recognize the work we have done and where we’re heading. We hope you continue to support us in our endeavors to support young students in their search for dance in higher education.
