PREPARE - SUMMER

In Collaboration with Cornish College of the Arts we’re offering a Summer Session in Seattle. Open to all students, join us for a day filled with masterclasses led by top-notch instructors, where you’ll refine your moves and showcase your talent.

FAQ

REGISTRATION
Can I attend this event virtually?

No, all the sessions in the event are fully in person.

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 I participate in the DTCB Prepare- Summer Session 2024 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. 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). 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. 
  • The benefit of auditioning with DTCB is your ability to be seen by so many schools at once! 

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

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

On June 25th, we will inform you of your waitlist status. You will have exactly one week to provide the correct information and confirm your spot.

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.
  • Your ticket option will be Prepare - underclassmen - $75.
COLLEGES INVOLVED
Where can I find a list of participating schools?

The list of participating schools will be posted on this page no later than May 31, 2024. Schools registered as audition panelists will have an (*).

Will all DTCB Audition Panelist schools make program acceptances or scholarship consideration based on this audition?

Each program has different entrance requirements, many of them will consider this audition as acceptance to their program and offer scholarships based on the DTCB audition.

How will we know the results of the audition? When do schools make their decisions?
  • Schools will contract Auditionee candidates directly about scholarship offers and program acceptances after the 2024 audition has been completed. 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.
