@Dad16 I saw @Twoin18 's message and can add a bit of info on Stanford. My son had similar academic stats as your daughter. He was classically trained but more into contemporary. He was '22 but took last year off so now he is '23 at Stanford, major in human biology and minors in dance + music. There is a group of probably 10 or so professional level ballet dancers at Stanford and the ballet company perform Nutcracker in winter and another show in spring. It’s common for dancers to take a year or two off school to dance with ballet companies. I know one girl danced 4 years on and off. My son loves the advanced ballet teacher Redirecting.... As @Twoin18 mentioned 6-8 hours weekly classes is not enough training. Currently my son and about half a dozen dancers who are interested in pursuing dance as a career has a dance group and they spend 5-6 hours weekly teaching each other classes and choregraphing dances for shows. My son tried to transfer to USC dance program his 2nd year but wasn’t able to. Now he doesn’t want to leave
