Hi everyone. I’ve received a number of requests lately that go something like this:
I/my child got into the SI programs at X, Y, and Z schools. Are they good or bad? What do you think we should do? X school has a different technique than I/he/she studied in the past. Is that good or bad? What do you think we should do?
With messages like this, what I really hear is, “Please tell me where to spend my money and also which school has the magical touch to create professional dancers!”
Well unfortunately the answer to those questions are ‘I don’t know’ and ‘There isn’t one.’ But fortunately, I have created many resources to help, from first summer audition plans to decision time. Especially for newer readers I thought it would be nice for me to list it all together as a guide for you. Take a look below.

In order to expand the usability of this site, I have also added a menu sub-item for Summer Intensives on the left hand menu. Just hover over Pre-Professional Training to access it. That category has nearly every article related to summer training. Let me know what you guys think in the comments if you like.

Where is the link for 2016 SI spreadsheet? I’m looking for abroad dance opportunities for my girls. I’m lost on your site.
If you hover over the word Topics at the top of any page, you can view the list of every category to jump to just those posts. For 2016, I announced recently that unfortunately I will not be continuing that annual project for now. However, last year’s list is still rather useful if you are looking for a starting point for research. Thanks for visiting!
