<p>Thacher has a very, very good dance program. (They just sent 5 dancers to China to participate in an international arts festival.)

<p>It is a smaller school - around 240 students - but has excellent academics, including humanities and writing. Students are encouraged to put their principles into practice, and every year I’m amazed at what they accomplish.

<p>Thacher is located in Ojai, CA - certainly a small town, but not in the “middle of nowhere.”</p>
<p>Choate is >850 btw.</p>
<p>Dana Hall.</p>
<p>Miss Porter’s has a good dance program and is located in a town within walking distance to shops etc. NMH has a strong dance program and a huge emphasis on scoial justice and activism which you might find interesting. Perhaps that combination would be enough to overcome its location in rural western Masaachusetts.</p>
<p>Co-Ed please and it has to have diversity</p>
<p>Look at Andover. It’s a little larger than what you wanted, but it has an excellent dance program, opportunities for politics/social justice, and it has great financial aid. If you’re interested PM me.</p>
