Please know that the audition is only part of the DTCB experience. Dancewave strongly recommends that you actively engage with the Community Board, participate in the College Fairs, and make sure that you represent yourself positively in your profile.

Programs are seeking talented dancers for their 2026 admissions and DTCB is your opportunity to shine! The educational workshops, panels, and dance workshops offered throughout the DTCB program are great tools for you to benefit from, whether you choose to audition or not.

*Students do not need to have already applied to any programs represented on the Auditions Panel to be eligible for scholarship or admissions consideration through DTCB, however, we strongly suggest that you follow up with schools that you are interested in applying to directly.

*Auditionees should expect to hear about program acceptance and scholarship considerations from the DTCB 2025 Audition panel by May 2026 at the latest.

*Acceptance to the dance program is most often separate from the general college/university admissions process. Please contact the schools admissions office directly to receive full detailed application requirements for both the College/University and its Dance Program.

PLEASE NOTE: Dancewave is not involved in scholarship or admissions decisions
