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 apply: This program is appropriate for students with a passion for theatre and/or dance between the ages of 18-25. Enrollment is limited; students outside of this age bracket should inquire and 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: If accepted, students under 18 must be accompanied by their own chaperone(s) or submit a chaperone waiver. 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 travel or Greece's climate and landscape, as ITDP is unable to offer personalized assistance in these areas.
