Hi September,

Glad you're happy with your choice - that's what it's all about!

And yes, you are correct. I was referring to the regular faculty available to Tisch students. Tisch teachers are all employed by the individual studios for whom they work. These studios are paid to provide the Tisch training as subcontractors of NYU. When you are paying upwards of 40K a year, many people take exception to having to pay for private instruction with the faculty of the university you are supposedly a part of. Steinhardt faculty ARE NYU faculty as Steinhardt contains the Music School of NYU and students work with these teachers without having to pay additional money. However, many Steinhardt students do decide to take (and must pay for) additional dance instruction in private NYC dance studios to supplement the less intense training available to them as part of the Steinhardt curriculum.
