I see tickets are non-refundable. What if I purchased the wrong ticket or no longer want to participate?

If you registered for an in-person ticket and you’d like to switch to virtual (or vice versa), please notify dctb@dancewave.org immediately and we will accommodate your request as soon as possible. The difference in ticket price will go towards our Pay-It-Forward program, Go Beyond Fund or towards supporting our Brooklyn nonprofit organization, Dancewave. The same is true for any cancelled registrations. 

I bought a virtual ticket (audition or basic fair) but I will now be able to come to NYC.  Can I change my registration?

In-person registration is limited due to capacity. You may be able to change your registration as long as you let us know as early as possible by emailing dtcb@dancewave.org. For changes in registration after it has closed (August 30th), we may not be able to accommodate your request so please make sure you can attend in the manner you registered. 

I bought an in-person ticket but I can no longer come to NYC.  Can I change my registration?

• Basic Fair Virtual tickets are unlimited as we can accommodate all attendees through our event platform Whova and zoom. If you’d like to change your reservation please let us know as soon as possible by emailing dtcb@dancewave.org. (please see refund question for refund information). 

• Virtual audition slots are limited due to zoom capacity. If you would like to change your audition status, please let us know as soon as possible so we can accommodate your request. If unfortunately there are no longer any virtual audition slots available when you make your request, you will be placed on a waiting list. If we are still unable to award you a spot, we will let you know asap and work out a solution. 

I downloaded the Whova App but I don’t see the event on it?

 The Dancewave Through College and Beyond event will go live a month before the first day of the event. Once it is live, you’ll receive an email. Then you’ll be able to go through the different college booths and speak to college representatives, join community boards and more! Until then, we will be updating dtcb.dancewave.org with pertinent information about the event. 

What do I do once the app goes live? How do I use Whova?

Once the Whova app is live, that is your time to update your Whova profile. As a student, this is the first impression the Dance Programs have before they meet you during the college fair (and audition). You want to make sure you showcase yourself appropriately. You can join the community boards and ask your peers, college representatives, and Dancewave Staff questions. But remember, the discussion boards are public and everybody has access to them. 

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

Yes! In fact, we encourage underclassmen to register for 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 be able to gain invaluable tools to prepare you for the college application process. You’ll also be able to meet representatives, ask pertinent questions and learn from professionals so that by the time you are ready to apply for college/university or a dance program, you’ll have all the information you need!

If I participate in the DTCB 2023 auditions will that count towards my application to that program?

Unless a school has stated otherwise, your DTCB audition will be considered as your audition to that school’s program (department auditions are different from college applications). Make sure you state the school(s) you are interested in at registration to make sure that we let the appropriate schools know (if you want to be considered for all schools just say “ALL”). You can still audition directly at the school afterwards if you’d like but for most audition panel schools, the DTCB audition is considered as your audition into the program.

That’s the great thing about the DTCB audition process: you can audition for many schools at once and save on travel and accommodation costs! 

IMPORTANT: the audition is only a part of the application process. You will also need to apply directly to the college/university to be accepted into that school.
