Ballet, contemporary, jazz, tap, and beyond. We help you prepare auditions that showcase your specific training and technique, develop a college list that honestly reflects your goals, and write essays that reveal the artist behind the training.

For MT students, the dance audition is often where programs make their final decisions — and it’s frequently the least-prepared piece. We work specifically on movement presentation, dance callbacks, and how to write about your identity as a triple-threat artist.

Where are you in your training, what programs are calling to you, and what does your prep look like right now?

Repertoire, pre-screen preparation, and callback coaching — built around what each program actually looks for.

Drafting and revising until your essays speak in your actual voice and say something true about your life as an artist.

You walk in prepared, grounded, and ready to show them exactly who you are. We support you throughout the season.

Most college consultants help students build a school list. We help performing artists do the hardest thing  — show exactly who they are in any audition room, along with the essays that get them in.

Getting into a conservatory isn’t about having the most training. It’s about making the room feel why your particular artistry belongs in their program.

The essay shows them who you are. The audition shows your skills and capabilities. Both deserve specific preparation. That's what Dancing in College is built around.

We work with MT students on auditions, essays, and everything in between — helping them present their training and their artistry compellingly, whether they’ve been dancing since childhood or came to dance through theater.

Your audition is the centerpiece of every performing arts application. We help you prepare for it with the same intentionality the program brings to evaluating it.

• Repertoire selection tailored to each program’s specific aesthetic and expectations

• Pre-screen video strategy — material choice, camera presence, pacing, and self-presentation

• Live audition preparation including callback coaching and in-person presence

• MT dance auditions — how to show your movement vocabulary honestly and to its best advantage

• What each program’s faculty actually looks for versus what applicants assume they want

The performing arts college essay is unlike any other. It’s about artistic identity — your chance to give faculty a reason to remember your name after fifty auditions in a row.

• Finding the story only you can tell — the one that captures your specific artistic voice and history

• Artist statements and program-specific supplements that speak to faculty, not admissions officers

• How to write about your training, influences, and artistic goals with specificity and confidence

• For MT performers: how to articulate the relationship between your acting, singing, and movement work

• Multiple rounds of revision until every word earns its place on the page
