<p>I’ve been away for awhile seeing my son in summerstock theatre and having family vacation.</p>
<p>I’m having a hard time understanding how this thread went from a question about dance in BFA MTs to talking about engineering with MT, which I know was discussed on another thread and which I think would be very difficult to do with almost any BFA program. Maybe you all should consider an engineering major and doing theatre on the side as a hobby. Engineering often pays better for a steady living!</p>
<p>Back to the original question, Elon does a great job allowing MT students to dance at their level. I believe that students are placed into appropriate levels coming in and that advanced dancers skip the beginning classes. Students can also add dance classes as electives if they are in the MT or dance programs. My son usually takes 20 or more hours a semester of classes, and he usually has several dance classes, allowing him to dance several hours each day.</p>
<p>We are so proud that our son seems to be a very advanced dancer in his summerstock work. Elon has done a great job with him in all areas, including dance. He did not go into Elon as an advanced dancer, but he has worked very hard. We also think he’s getting great training in voice and acting.</p>
