TDA Prep's College Candidate Program for High School Seniors

EVERY ELEMENT OF APPLYING TO COLLEGE FOR DANCE, HANDLED !

The College Candidate Program presents both parents and dancers with the reality of the college landscape, helping them to think like an admissions officer. Beyond the webinars, audition prep classes, and spreadsheets, The Dance Artist Prep guides, mentors, and partners with College Candidates throughout every season of the college process:

During Planning Season, we learn about your big dreams and personal dynamics that could shape your college experience. Based on that, we create YOUR college list and application spreadsheet. Once we specify and organize your goals, we're all set to go!

Application Season marks the start of the journey. While the Common App handles most academic requirements, Dance Departments have a distinct set of requirements including extra essays, applications, and prescreen videos. Dancers usually have to write two essays for each college and some schools require multiple audition videos with their application. We’ve got you covered!

Audition Season is your time to shine! The preparation you did during Planning Season will keep you organized and focused on delivering your best performance in the room where it happens!

Acceptance Season is the most exciting part of the journey, but we're not finished yet! This is when you can negotiate or "appeal" your scholarship offers to secure as much financial support as possible for your top choices.

The year of hard work culminates with our College Signing Day, where the Class of 2024 travels to Chicago to reveal their chosen destination for the next chapter of their journey.
