Since last month I’ve been working on the annual SI list for you beautiful dancers out there! You’ve sent quite a few inquiries about when I will be publishing that, so I this is just a quick note to let you know that I plan to post it at the end of this Thanksgiving week.
There’s extra delay this year due to a number of intensives who have not published their 2014 information yet. For that reason, a number of schools will have TBA listed for dates with a link to their general site or 2013 info. I am limiting this as much as possible by making individual calls to these schools to supplement my data with unpublished, verbally confirmed updates when possible, but my many phone calls have also added to the delay.
Thanks for your patience and your excitement for this year’s list. There are many lovely opportunities this year and a number of schools have widened their age acceptances. Enjoy your Thanksgiving holidays and see you on the other side!

How many summer Intensives do you recommend auditioning for?
The short answer is: as many as you can fit into your schedule without affecting your other responsibilities. Stick to the ones you really care about though.
I’m planning on five but I feel like that’s not enough.
Well enough is not something you can predict unfortunately, but five is a respectable number. Resources like time and money can be limiting. I remember a few years when I could not go to any and had to audition by video – also an option if there are other schools you can’t audition for. But it’s up to your judgment about your personal abilities and how you expect them to match up to the programs you’ll be trying out for.
