Application (SDI)

Applications are open!

All ADF Summer Intensive applications are completed via the Acceptd platform. We encourage students to apply early to complete all required information and meet important deadlines for scholarships, class registration, Footprints audition, required forms, and payments.

SDI has a full-time and part-time option. Please visit the About SDI page for a complete overview.

Application requirements:

• Fill out an online application form via Acceptd and submit a $75 nonrefundable application fee (not credited toward tuition).
• ADF will review your application for the program and send you notification of acceptance via email within 2 weeks of submission.

After you are accepted into the program, complete the following within your application:

• • Submit scholarship materials by March 1 (priority) and April 5 to be considered for financial assistance.
    • Applications must be processed by February 26th for the March 1 deadline and April 2 for the April 5 deadline.
  • Submit a $300 deposit to secure your spot in SDI. The non-refundable deposit will be applied to your intensive tuition.
  • Class registration is available March 20. You must submit your deposit to register for classes.

ADF does not require an audition to enroll in the Summer Dance Intensive unless the student is applying for a tuition scholarship or auditioning for Footprints, in which case a live and/or video audition submission is required.

Please note there are numerous stages in the intensive application. Students will receive a “Registration Complete” message from Acceptd when all materials have been submitted.

Please contact the ADF School at 919-684-6402 or school@americandancefestival.org with any application questions.
