| Ohernjr....take All4FSU's advice and take ballet and jazz dance classes. I realize there are no dance studios in your town. But I imagine that within a 50 mile radius from where you live, there must be something. I live in a rural town of 1700 people. While we don't have dance in town, there are studios in a 50 mile radius. I don't know your access to a car but if you have any possibility of taking dance, I would suggest you do for BFA admissions and if you want to puruse MT anyway. As well, FSU is a school very strong in dance and I believe dance will matter in your audition there.
I also would advise you that while it is natural to have favorite programs, it is best to not get too focused or locked into wanting to attend one partiicular BFA program. With the very chancy odds at these BFA programs, it is best to cast a WIDE net of a variety of programs that might be a good fit, with a range of artistic and academic odds of admissions, and enough schools to yield a positive outcome. Even the most successful applicants I know, had they only applied to one school and that was the school they did not get into, their outcome would be very different than it turned out to be and in some cases, they got into 5-6 BFA programs. I hope you are applying to more than FSU or even FSU, UCF and UF. You may want to add in non audition BA back up MT programs. Best of luck in your pursuit. |
