BALLET TRAINING | Females minimum 3 years of experience; Males minimum 1 year

LEVEL | Intermediate & Advanced

Students who are not eligible for this intensive are encouraged to consider a Doxa Summer Camp instead.

1. PREPARE a headshot photo and a full-length photo in the first arabesque position.

2. PREPARE a dance résumé - this should include an outline of your training experience. No more than one page, saved as a pdf.

3. SUBMIT the Application Form using the button at the top of this page. If you experience difficulty submitting the photos or résumé through the application form, you may email them separately to doxadanceministry@gmail.com via Google Drive or Dropbox. Please send these items as soon as possible after submitting the application form as incomplete applications will not be considered.

4. You will receive a confirmation email that your application form was received. Wait to receive another email notification specifying if you have been accepted to the summer intensive. Please do not email to ask about acceptance until after April 10th or at least 4 weeks after submission, whichever is later. We will begin contacting dancers in early April.

5. If accepted, submit your non-refundable $100 deposit to secure your spot. Instructions on how to do this will be included in your acceptance email. Acceptance alone does not ensure your place in the intensive and capacity is limited in each level. We will reserve spots based on the order in which deposits are received. The application process will be closed when capacity is reached.

6. Level Placement - a placement class will be held for all attendees on Sunday afternoon, June 4th, as part of the check-in process.

DEPOSIT | $100

There is no application fee. $100 non-refundable deposit is due upon notification of acceptance in order to reserve your spot. Space is limited and spots will be reserved in the order in which deposits are paid.

To apply for this scholarship, first follow the audition/application submission process, and then submit a written request to be considered for this scholarship via email. Include as an attachment either a recommendation letter from a member of your company/university program leadership (preferred) or proof of enrollment in such a program/company. If awarded, you will be notified by email with your summer intensive acceptance notification, including the exact amount to be applied toward your tuition. The deposit is still required in full, but will be counted in the percentage of tuition owed that is not covered by the scholarship. Please email doxadanceministry@gmail.com with questions.
