@ucsb82 Have you looked at schools in the Dallas Ft. Worth area. TONS of amazing dance training options with plenty of contemporary/ modern companies as well as amazing training available in every genre very close. SMU has amazing technical dancers and plenty of prestige. They love double majors and double or triple minors as well and really are willing to help create the degree the student wants if they dont have it exactly. But your D could also attend school at any one of the many schools in that area for example and just continue to train outside of college if that is what you are looking for. Houston has lots of options for that as well.

I think you said you are in Fl but in Atlanta, GA which has tons of dance opportunities much like LA but not as spread out - Kennesaw State has great dance program as well as works with those trying to double major. We know several dancers who are actually working different dance gigs, auditioning and performing in music videos, having opportunities to dance with artists when they come to perform in ATL, etc while going to school as a BFA dance major at Kennesaw.

Perhaps there are also other places besides the LA scene with just as many dance opportunities that also have school options she would be interested in. Just throwing something else out there. ? so many ways to go about getting experience and training and also finishing a degree. Good luck!
