Tuition, room and board total per dancer is $3,490 and must be paid in full by May 9, 2008.  Enrollment for the 2008 workshop will be limited to 100 dancers ages 12 - 21.  Daily schedule includes 3 to 5 classes and rehearsals per day, 6 days a week.  Commuting dancers pay $2,890 and are required to check in at the hotel each morning at 7:45 a.m.

Registration takes place on June 14 from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m.  During registration, dancers are checked into the Holiday Inn Express located on our campus and the campus buildings used during the workshop are open for touring.  Dancers, parents, families and workshop staff gather for a complimentary meal and orientation at the Flint Institute of Music at 5:30 p.m.

Sunday, June 15 is placement class day.  Dancers eat breakfast at the hotel and then walk to The Whiting for placement classes.  All classes and rehearsals are required and classes begin the morning of the 16th.  Dancers walk to and from the hotel and classes each day accompanied by workshop staff members.

Staff and faculty live at the hotel with the dancers.  Double occupancy rooms are assigned by roommate request if you have a roommate preference or a personality profile filled out by each dancer prior to registration if you don’t.

Our culminating performances this year are at 2:00 and 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 12.  Tickets are $20.00 and every dancer performs in both shows.  Parents and others are encouraged to make hotel reservations early if staying in Flint on performance weekend.

Scholarships are awarded on a merit-only basis and are decided by John Magnus and Judy Rice at audition.  Financial aid is not available.  We suggest you contact your local Rotary, Arts Council, mayor’s office, library or dance studio for scholarship information or applications available in your area.
