Incomplete applications will not be accepted. Broadway Dance Center will notify you via email upon acceptance — you must have a valid email address. Once you have been accepted into the program, half tuition must be paid before Broadway Dance Center will issue the I-20 Certificate of Eligibility that is required to procure the M-1 visa.

After BDC receives your application

  1. BDC will notify you of your acceptance by email or post.
  2. Half the tuition is due at that time.
  3. Once half your tuition has been received, BDC will issue your I-20 Certificate of Eligibility. The I-20 IS NOT THE VISA. Students must contact the US Embassy in their home country to make an appointment to apply for the M-1 VISA. Page five of packet: You may ONLY participate in the International Student Visa Program if you enter the US on the BDC M-1 visa — you may not enter using a tourist visa.
  4. The balance of your tuition is due before the start of classes
  5. Students are required to register for a BDC Club Card prior to their arrival.

Methods of Payment

  1. Please email us for wire transfer information at isvp@bwydance.com
  2. We also accept credit cards (MasterCard or Visa), Money Orders or Traveler's Checks made out in U.S. dollars for tuition payments.

Insurance

    Traveler's Medical Insurance is MANDATORY. Upon starting the program, you must provide proof of your own traveler's medical insurance. BDC does not provide medical insurance but we can assist by directing you to CareMed International Travel Insurance: www.CareMed-Travel.com. Please indicate that you will be studying at Broadway Dance Center when you contact them. BDC is not responsible for injuries or illness, so it is imperative that all ISVP students carry medical insurance before they begin and during their course of study with Broadway Dance Center.
