One Location. One Audition. Endless Possibilities.
We are just two weeks away from Dancewave’s anticipated October event Dancing Through College & Beyond! Aside from a completely free college fair, the chance to meet with current college dance students, and movement classes, Dancing Through College & Beyond (DTCB) will feature an audition process involving 27 of the 50 participating colleges. This year, Dancewave’s DTCB is partnering with 15 auditioning colleges from across the country to offer merit-based scholarships to their respective dance programs.
DTCB’s audition process not only eliminates multiple travel fees for parents with auditioning dancers (27 schools in ONE audition!), but it also provides access & resources to dance in higher education for young, emerging dance artists. This is the first year participating colleges have opted to offer merit-based scholarships directly to their dance programs through DTCB.
Auditioning Schools Include:
Adelphi University, American Musical & Dramatic Academy (AMDA), Broadway Dance Center, Cornish College of the Arts, Drexel University / Westphal College of Media Arts & Design, Gaynor Minden, Hofstra University, Montclair State University, Sacred Heart University, Slippery Rock University, Steps Conservatory Program, Temple University / Boyer College of Music & Dance, Townson University, University of Massachusetts Amherst, University of the Arts, Wayne State University / Maggie Allesee Department of Theatre & Dance
