Oh great, Finale will help you. There are some good books on Amazon on Finale too. Your teacher might be able to help you with notation issues. I totally understand and, again, having trouble with notation is a nice sign of your bravery as a composer!!

One of my daughters is a composer, the other a dancer. I share your fascination with the interplay and each discipline seems so enhanced by the other.

You can try to find choreographers who might want to use some of your music. Sometmes composers put cards up in dance studios :)

I don’t know what state you are in but there will be some great choices that have both music and dance (and you can write for dance privately, as I just said). Juilliard, Purchase, Bard, Hartt, North Carolina School of the Arts, Boston Conservator y, for starters. And colleges: Bennington, Sarah Lawrence, Skidmore, Vassar (Barnard for women). Oberlin does have dance too. And many more. Musician 34 knows Midwest and Spirit Manager knows west coast, as do others.
