There are many deserving and talented students attending the Regional High School Dance Festival. Many are attending the festival so that they can offset their college tours by meeting and interviewing with many schools and programs in one place. We invite you to offer a scholarship and participate in the audition day to accept students to your program.

Scholarship audition classes will be held on Friday, March 13, 2026, from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

Auditions are open only to those students who have registered PRIOR TO ARRIVAL AT THE FESTIVAL and paid as full festival participants. You may not use the festival audition to audition outside students.
