Registration, Costs and Housing FAQs

 

What is the legal business name: ITDP is a branch of International Dance Project. International Theatre & Dance Project refers to the program title. Please make all checks payable to our legal business name International Dance Project or IDP. 

Who can register?: This program is appropriate for students with a passion for theatre and/or dance between the ages of 18-25. There are limited spots available for students age 17. If accepted, students under 18 must be accompanied by their own chaperone(s). Applicants that are outside of this age bracket will be considered on an individualized basis. International Theatre & Dance Project is committed to equality of educational opportunities and does not discriminate against applicants, students, or faculty staff based on race, national origin, religion, sex, or disability.

 

Chaperones: All students under the age of 18 must attend this program with a chaperone. Students ages 18+ should attend with a chaperone if they require specific health, assisted living, and/or self-care needs, or have difficulty with the demands of Greece's climate and landscape, as ITDP is unable to offer personalized assistance in these areas.

How to register?: Students are enrolled when their registration form is complete and their tuition is paid in full. 

 

When to register: Discounted early enrollment applications are due by January 15, 2024. Enrollment will close when we fill enrollment or by April 15th, 2024. Enrollment is limited, thus allowing for a small and tightly knit ensemble and individual student attention.

How can I hold a spot?: Email registration form, cover letter, and audition material to ITDPGreece@gmail.com. Submit payment on Square (additional fees apply for electronic transactions) or send a check made out to IDP via mail. You will receive a confirmation email once we receive your materials. Deposits and tuition payments will be refunded ONLY if an applicant is not accepted into the program.

Medical Travel Insurance: Naxos has a small hospital facility. In cases of serious emergencies, participants may need to be taken to the island of Syros or Athens for treatment. In light of the recent global pandemic, ITDP recommends that students purchase medical travel insurance for Summer 2024. This insurance is inexpensive and will offer peace of mind. ITDP will email suggested options to enrolled students.

 

Meals: ITDP accommodations only occasionally kitchens and sometimes include breakfast. Students should plan to stock up on snacks from local grocery stores that are dry or can be refrigerated. There are also takeaway options. Students should expect to spend about 10-25 euros per basic meal out.


Flights: ITDP works with a Greek travel agent who is happy to assist our students in finding the best rates for flights. Otherwise, students are responsible for booking their own flights. 

Ferries: Students should plan to spend approximately $150 on ferry transportation roundtrip to Naxos and back to Athens.

Transfers: ITDP is happy to set up transfers for our students from the airport to the hotel in Athens. The driver will meet the student at passenger pick-up and assist with baggage. Approximately 50-60 Euros must be paid in cash to the driver upon pick-up and drop off. If arriving on the same flight as another ITDP student, the fare can be split. The hotel for the final night stay offers a free shuttle to the airport. Rates for 2024 are not yet confirmed.
