WE KNOW YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS. LET US ANSWER THEM!
If you don’t see your questions here, send us an email at dtcb@dancewave.org and a member of our team will be happy to help.
You can see an up to date list of Participating Programs on our 2026 Overview Page. Please know that Programs are being added there as they register and that this list will NOT be final until September, as Program Registration remains open until then.
YES! Participating in the DTCB Program is of great value, even without attending our Audition! Non-auditioning DTCB Students will still receive all of the same educational materials/sessions, be able to make meaningful connections with Program Representatives from across the country and abroad, and better understand the field at large through DTCB.
Given current circumstances, there will NOT be an event on the West Coast. However, DTCB has made efforts to improve the accessibility of our program by increasing student capacity and continued enhancements to the virtual participation.
No. Only 1 ticket per student is allowed. Auditionees must choose whether they will audition in-person or virtually by 9/1/2026.
Yes! We encourage underclassmen to attend DTCB as it’s a great way to build relationships with colleges/universities/dance programs before you have to audition. There are so many programs out there and by attending DTCB before your senior year, you’ll gain invaluable insights to prepare you for the application process. You’ll also be able to meet school representatives, ask pertinent questions and learn directly from industry professionals.
- If you no longer wish to participate in DTCB, your ticket fees will go towards our Go Beyond Scholarship Fund or to support our Brooklyn non-profit organization, Dancewave.
- If you purchased the “wrong” ticket, we encourage you to still participate in DTCB as your purchased ticket allows, as you will certainly find benefit in the DTCB Sessions that you can join for. If your desired ticket is still available for purchase, you may pursue the “correct” ticket through a second purchase, with the knowledge that all ticket purchases are final, non-refundable, and non-transferrable.
Unfortunately, due to capacity limitations we are unable to transfer tickets. Please email dtcb@dancewave.org if you are no longer able to attend.
Your DTCB audition will be considered by all audition panel programs. We recommend connecting with program representatives if you wish to explore opportunities to submit supplementary materials or want to participate in auditions hosted directly by that program.
Students are responsible for completing and submitting all application requirements outside of the audition (essays, test scores, transcripts, etc.) Keep in mind some programs require you to apply to both the school and department separately.
Every program is on their own timeline but will contact auditionees directly about scholarship offers and program acceptances by May 2027. If you want specific dates, connect with program representatives.
DTCB is not involved in the decision making process for any program and does not receive notification of students admission offers or scholarships. DTCB is not responsible for any correspondence between candidates and school after the event closes.
