  • Hit that apply button up on the top right! If you’re applying for the summer intensive, please use the contact us page, as there is no audition requirement for the intensive!

  • TAPS tuition is $20,000—with scholarships, payment plans, and early admission options available.
    Compared to the $55,000+ cost of most private college dance programs, TAPS delivers elite training and unmatched industry access at a fraction of the price. With working NYC professionals on faculty, our connections aren’t theoretical—they’re your future network.

  • 2026/27 Semester Dates:
    Fall: September 2 – November 24
    Winter: December 28 – March 25
    Applications now open for 2026.

  • We haven’t confirmed dates yet, but rest assured, they will not conflict with the dates for TAPS Las Vegas, so you’ll have 4 different weeks to choose from, making it easier to work with your summer schedule!

  • We cap enrollment at just 35 dancers to keep the training personal, focused, and powerful. This intimate setting allows us to tailor each experience and provide the one-on-one mentorship that turns talent into booked, working professionals.

  • Although we do not provide housing, we will provide options and professionals who can help you source accommodation. Fairfield, CT is no stranger to students looking for September - April housing since there are several universities and colleges in the area. Don’t worry — we’re here to help.
