OUR BIGGEST ATTRACTION
DTCB AUDITION
Our auditions provide graduating seniors the opportunity to audition for up to 60 top dance programs all at once allowing families to save on travel and audition costs.
Students have the opportunity to audition either virtually in your preferred space, or in-person during our PREPARE and APPLY events!
Auditionees must be graduating high school senior students in the Fall of 2024 who are eligible to apply for and enter college in Fall 2025.
While underclassmen are not eligible to audition we encourag you to join us for all other DTCB events!
To be considered for scholarship and admission opportunities, students will need to complete all audition requirements (see below). Submitting your audition materials will create a Senior or Auditionee Profile that DTCB College Representatives and/or Audition Panelists can review.
Students will receive an email when it is time to submit these materials.

Students may opt to submit an additional video of their choosing to colleges if they wish.

Please submit a private youtube link to ensure that anybody with the link can access the video.

Each video should be titled with your First & Last Name and the dance style. Example: Amber Brown Ballet, Amber Brown Modern, Amber Brown Salsa.
Students will submit their headshot and resume online prior to the audition date.
Please know that submitting your audition assignments is only part of the 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.
Schools are seeking talented dancers for their 2025 admissions and DTCB is your opportunity to shine! The educational workshops, panels, and dance masterclasses offered during the event 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 2024 Audition panel by May 2025 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.
