AUDITION INFO
Do I have to audition to attend?
The Summer Intensives include an audition process to make sure our program will be a great experience for all participants. The first step in the audition process is to submit an audition video. We recommend that you submit an existing video of a combination or routine that you’re particularly proud of. Our creative team is reviewing all auditions on a rolling basis and will notify you of your admissions decision within approximately seven days of submission.
