Embarking on the journey of applying to dance colleges can be as challenging as it is exciting. In Episode 4 of our podcast, we explore the intricate world of the dance application process, helping you navigate the path to your dream dance school.

Applying for college is a demanding endeavor, but for aspiring dancers, it's a unique experience with distinct requirements. It can feel like a full-time job, and the process may take longer than you expect. Did you know that in some cases, you may need to apply to the university itself before you can even audition for the dance program?

We're here to simplify the process and provide you with the essential guidance you need. Learn the importance of meticulous organization as we discuss how to compile a list of schools that align with your dance aspirations. To make your life easier, we'll even share a downloadable spreadsheet with a curated list of schools to consider.

Discover the advantages of using the Common Application if it's compatible with your chosen schools. Plus, we'll delve into practical tips for preparing in advance. From tackling time-consuming video submissions to curating your headshot and resume, we've got you covered. 

Get a head start on your dance college journey by doing some of this groundwork during the summer months. Learn how to practice "slating" and have your answers ready to impress admissions panels.

Join us as we break down the dance application process, demystify its challenges, and offer insights that will not only help you apply effectively but also make your senior year more manageable and enjoyable. Your dream dance school is within reach, and this episode is your roadmap to getting there!
