| Parentoften,
Thank you very much for your advice. I will follow with this procedure. However, personally, I actually had been part of a dance program in boarding school and I have danced for only about 4 and a half years. I am not much of the ballet/tap major but rather the hip hop, modern, and interpretive dancer with good performance and choregraphy experience. I also have a good yoga/pilates background which stemmed from my dance experience.
Our program takes great pride in our accomplishments as we send several people each year to great dance programs such as Penn and Georgetown. I hope that Duke is not ultra-competitive. At Duke, I am not sure if I am leaning towards the minor but perhaps clubs, performances, and taking classes.
By the way, I am also male, and one of two competitve male dancers in the program. I suppose I hope to have dance as I guess a 'hook' based on my background and Duke's need of dancers of my background. As you had mentioned, your daughter seems to lean really towards the dance environment. I hope to have a great recc from my teacher, who absolutely loves me. Could you give me some advice on how I should approach the resume and video tape processs? Should I perhaps exchange emails with the dance teachers at Duke?
P.S> Could you activate your private message system so I can communicate with you more personally?
Thank you once again! |
