<p>If you intend to pursue MT, you should definitely take dance. It has nothing to do with your application. It has all to do with training in general. Besides, for many BFA programs, there IS a dance audition for admissions and you should keep up your technique and grow as a dancer. Ballet and Jazz would be the most important to take but if you have time, taking tap would be wonderful as well. And yes, schools will like to see that you have been training in dance. If anything, it would look negative to stop dancing the year before trying to enter a college MT program. Nobody is going to say, “she added it to pad her resume” but rather, “she is training and preparing and is serious about MT!”</p>
