As part of the application, families will be asked to share basic information about the student’s current school, grade level, and academic standing. Applicants will be asked to upload a recent report card and attendance record. This information helps us understand each student’s educational context and ensure they are able to participate fully in the program.

This section collects information about the student’s current dance training and experience. Families will be asked to share the student’s current school or training program, years of training, and submit a brief dance résumé. Applicants will also provide a link to a short performance video or dance reel and upload documentation related to summer intensive participation, if applicable. These materials help us understand each student’s training context and assess program fit.

Applicants are asked to submit a short essay describing their interest in dance, what it means to them, and how a summer intensive scholarship would support their growth. The essay should be a minimum of 250 words and reflect the student’s personal experience, goals, and commitment to training. This essay helps us better understand each applicant’s motivation and how this opportunity aligns with their development.

Applicants are required to submit one letter of recommendation from an individual who can speak to the student’s character, commitment, and readiness to participate in the program. The recommender may be a teacher, dance instructor, school administrator, or other mentor familiar with the student’s work and dedication.
