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 ages 16-17. Students ages 16-17 must submit an audition video, and if accepted 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, independent 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 by?: Enrollment will close when we fill enrollment or by March 15th, 2023. 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 and cover letter to ITDPGreece@gmail.com. Submit payment on Square (additional fees apply) 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 to you ONLY if a student is not accepted into the program.

Ancient Theatre Production: An evening of theatre at the Theatre at Ancient Epidaurus, transportation, and overnight in a local hotel is included in the activities and housing fees.
Medical Travel Insurance: Unlike many islands, the Zakynthos offers an extensive hospital facility. In light of the recent global pandemic, ITDP is requesting that students purchase medical travel insurance for Summer 2023. This insurance is inexpensive and will offer peace of mind. ITDP will email suggested options to enrolled students.
Meals: ITDP accommodations do not include kitchens. Students should plan to stock up on snacks from local grocery stores that are dry or can be refrigerated. Both our accommodation and studio include breakfast and are directly next to a small cafes lunch options. 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 $15-20 on ferry transportation to Zakynthos.
Domestic Flights: We suggest students departing immediately following the program end book flights out of Zakynthos back Athens Airport for the least expensive and most direct return.
Transfers: ITDP is happy to set up transfers for our students to and from the airport. The driver will meet the student at passenger pick-up and assist with baggage. Approximately 50 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 will be less per person. If traveling with another ITDP student, prices per person are at a lower rate. Rates for 2023 are not yet confirmed.
