You might get more info if you posted on the Webster site. I don't know a ton about the St. Louis itself as a theatre city, but I do know that there is an Equity theatre that is housed on campus, and that students have the opportunity to crew, and occasionally perform, in shows there.

I know Roosevelt is in the Chicago area. Does anyone know anything about the MT degree at North Central College in Naperville, IL? Naperville seems to have a rich history in the arts and my S was wanting information on NCC.

Can anyone give me information on how the dance at Roosevelt works? I mean their dance classesa re at the Lou Conte Dance Studio. Are the students in dance classes only with other Roosevelt students or are they for instance told that RU students are required to take 2 dance classes a week and the RU students just pick the classes at the studio that fits into their academic schedule and are mainstreamed into the general Lou Conte Studio student classes?

My d is a freshman MT at Roosevelt and she loves it! We are really happy with her choice to attend Roosevelt/CCPA. Last year's college search was a roller coaster ride!

I was confused about how the dance worked at CCPA, too...now my d has educated me on how it is arranged. This is how I understand it to be:
This semester she is required to take one dance class a week (90 minutes)...she decided to take intermediate ballet.
Students take the subway to Lou Conte Studio for the classes (a subway pass is also part of your tuition).
Apparently, you are not neccessarily with other CCPA students in dance class, but I imagine you could arrange to be. Since her schedule is tight right now with a rehearsal "class" from around 6-10pm, my d takes ballet on Saturdays - it is flexible, she also has the option of taking the class in the evening, if and when her schedule will allow.
In addition to the required class (which is part of her tuition) she purchased a dance card which allows her to take additional class (14 sessions) of her choice.
She seems to love the studio and the way the classes are set-up.
My D can not say enough about how pleased she is with the faculty at CCPA.

Are they graded and evaluated at this dance studio for the Roosevelt credits, if there are no faculty from Roosevelt teaching the classes and the students are not in classes with other Roosevelt students?

Do they take only 90 min. of dance for credit per week every year?

Dance at CCPA

If I am understanding LesMis777 correctly it sounds as though CCPA dance students take classes with the general dance students at Lou Conte. On the same level as Broadway Dance or something like that. With this in mind I would think CCPA students could possibly take classes with everyone from high school students to, depending on their level, professionals staying brushed up on dance skills. I'm not meaning that as a bad thing, I'm just making an observation.
What I don't understand is how the CCPA students are graded. Is this a "pass/fail" class where as long as the CCPA student attends class a pass grade is given? Who keeps up with attendance? It sounds like LesMis777 d goes sometimes on Saturday and sometimes at night when her schedule allows. Are the Saturday class and weeknight class the same level? With no CCPA faculty at Lou Conte, how are they leveled, moved to different classes as they grow as dancers and graded?
I love the CCPA students being able to purchase an additional dance class card and being able to attend more classes as their class schedule/rehearsal schedule permits!
My cousin has a MFA Dance and loved the idea of being able to add dance classes by purchasing a dance card and fitting them into ever changing college schedules!
