<p>If your interest in choreography would be primarily musical theatre, I would say many (most) theatrical choreographers I know came up through the ranks of being in shows. Some schools’ MT programs are friendlier with their dance departments than others - I think if you look for an MT school with a strong dance program, look at whether there is a choreography class offered to MT majors, or to dance majors that you may be allowed into, and look at opportunities for doing student-choreographed pieces in dance recitals or other performance opportunities, it may be easier to get the background than attempting a double major.</p>
