A letter from our
Director

As not only a 20 year veteran studio owner, but as a parent myself, I know first hand how overwhelming the college search process is. Once your child gets to high school, the decision of what is next is imminent and can be terrifying. You find yourself searching for answers to so many questions. How do I ensure that I have provided them with the right tools to prepare them? What are my next steps in gathering all of the information so that I am informed and educated on the options available to them? They have spent the majority of their life within the four walls of the dance studio, sacrificing family time and staying up all hours of the night trying to balance their school work so they can continue their passion and drive for DANCE and as parents we feel paralyzed. The information needed to do a compare and contrast of the college dance programs, conservatories and extended studies programs is just not easily accessible. The submission deadlines for audition videos for not only the college dance programs but also for summer intensives for high school age dancers have vastly different timelines. In addition to that, there are differing video content requirements, essays, letters of recommendations that are needed to complete the application. It is overwhelming to say the least!

As a dance educator it is of the greatest importance to me to be able to help facilitate this journey. I have implemented a program that can take the mystique out of this process and offer clarity so that you and your dancer can feel empowered to make the right choices for the right fit at the right time. What is so fulfilling for myself and the other qualified and experienced consultants in the program is that this isn’t just a program for graduating seniors, it can be a personal and dedicated mentorship that lasts throughout your dancer’s high school experience. Witnessing the dancers excel under our mentorship and having the tools to send them off to their dream program is a dance educator’s proudest moment and most rewarding gift.

Navigating the Dance Education Landscape

We know first-hand how overwhelming the college search process is. The information needed to do a compare and contrast of the college dance teams, dance programs, conservatories and extended studies programs is just not easily accessible or organized. The video submission deadlines for not only college dance program or team recruitment and acceptance but also for summer intensives and clinics for high school age dancers have vastly different timelines.

In addition to that, there are differing video content requirements, essays and letters of recommendations that are needed to complete the dance portion of your application. Let's also not forget that generally speaking, your dancer will need to be accepted academically before being considered, so knowing if your dancer can meet those requirements is critical. It is OVERWHELMING to say the least!

FAQs

When does my package begin and end?

Packages can be chosen with 1, 2 or 3 year commitments. Once you have signed your consulting contract, your package timeline initiates so you can truly begin at any time of year.

Can I use more than one strategy session per month?

You can utilize your strategy sessions in the timing that you desire. If you're busy preparing for auditions or video submissions, feel free to request strategy sessions more frequently. During calmer times of the year, sessions can be more spread out.

What age should dancers start thinking about college options?

In this day and age it's really never too early. We know it sounds crazy to start preparing in middle school but we believe it's valuable.

Do I have to live in the same city as my dedicated consultant?

No. In reality, the majority of consulting occurs via Zoom, providing you with the flexibility to connect remotely with your consultant. The empower ME Movement Network is available to you around the clock!
