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.

I’m a student interested in studying Dance in higher education but am not a senior. Can I still attend/register?

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.

Where can I find a list of participating schools?

The most updated information about participating schools will be on the event page of this website. We will also announce programs via socials so be sure to follow us and join our mailing list to stay updated.

I see tickets are non-refundable. What if I purchased the wrong ticket or no longer want to participate?
  • If you no longer wish to participate, the ticket price will go towards our Pay-It-Forward program, Go Beyond Fund, or supporting our Brooklyn non profit organization, Dancewave. The same is applicable for any full refund inquiries regarding your registration fees.
  • If you purchased the wrong ticket and would like to exchange, please see the questions below.
I bought a ticket and can no longer attend, can I transfer my ticket to someone else I know?

Unfortunately, due to capacity limitations we are unable to transfer tickets to people outside of our registrations. For other options, see previous questions.

If I participate in the DTCB auditions, will it count towards my application to the program?

Unless a school has stated otherwise, your DTCB audition will be considered your audition for that program. You can still audition directly at the school if you would like but most audition panel schools will consider your DTCB audition for their program.

Keep in mind some schools require you to apply to both the school and department separately. Make sure you state which school(s) you are interested in at registration to ensure we inform the appropriate schools of your interest (you can select “ALL” if you would like to be considered for every school).

IMPORTANT- the audition is only part of the application process. Most schools require you to apply directly to the college/university to be accepted.

How will we know the results of the audition? When do schools make their decisions?

Schools will contact auditionees directly about scholarship offers and program acceptances by May 2025. It is important to see what other requirements, ie. applying for the institution or program, are needed in addition to the audition. 

 

Dancewave is not involved in the decision making process for any school after the event and does not receive notification of students admission offers or scholarships. Dancewave is not responsible for any correspondence between candidates and school after the event closes.

I am on the waitlist for the In Person events, when will I find out if I am accepted?

We will announce 2025 dates soon. Once contacted, you will have exactly one week to confirm and claim your spot.
