Schedule & Classes (SDI)

Applicants interested in auditioning for Footprints must upload audition materials in their online application by April 17 to be considered. Auditioning is optional and only available to full-time students.

About the Footprints Experience

Footprints is an opportunity for students to gain real-world intensive professional company experience. Footprints rehearsals are held Monday–Friday, 2:00–5:30 pm, with additional weekend rehearsals, costume fittings, and tech rehearsals as needed. Due to a full schedule, students participating in Footprints are limited in participation in drop-in classes and other performance opportunities at the festival. This is one of many possible experiences available to ADF students; we encourage students to consider and explore all options!

• Each Footprints work has individual requirements for audition materials, which are detailed in the online application. 
• You can be considered for any Footprints piece, but you may only participate in ONE, if selected for multiple works.
• You will have the opportunity to rate your interest in the pieces you are auditioning for.
• If you are accepted into a Footprints piece and agree to participate, you must commit to attending all classes/rehearsals and participating in the cumulative performances.

How to Audition

• Complete your online application for the Summer Dance Intensive, pay the $60 nonrefundable application fee, and wait for your application to be accepted.
• Audition: Once accepted into the program, you will go through other application stages before auditioning, including scholarships, submitting a deposit, and class registration. Audition materials  will be accessible in your online application in February.
