The Professional Semester is BDC's elite professional training program, offering the advanced technical training; pragmatic branding, marketing, and professionalism skills; and powerful networking opportunities with agents and casting directors to help you launch a sustainable career in dance. 

Please bring head-shot and resume; auditions are multi-disciplinary, including ballet, jazz/contemporary, theater, hip-hop, and tap; please prepare accordingly. Auditions are for Summer & Fall 2015, Spring 2016; those selected will receive guaranteed acceptance to the course and a waiver of application fee. We will still be accepting video submissions as detailed in the application process. Advance RSVPs for all auditions are requested but not required.

If you are attending the audition you do NOT need to come prepared with or pre-submit the full application, you need only bring a head-shot and resume. If you are invited to attend the program certain elements of the application process will be required after the audition, but not before. If you cannot attend an audition, just submit an application as detailed in the application process.
