<p>Wait, slow down, ATS. You have never taken a dance class and want to be a choreographer? I understand that you love show choir, but I would take this one step at a time. If you want to do dance/MT you are already getting a late start. Right now research your butt off to find out what you need to do to get accepted into an MT program. And yes, start taking ballet. But once you get into an MT program (if you are lucky enough to), you will be dancing! Work hard, get good. Are you a boy? All the better. But if you’ve never danced, you will still be playing catch up. Not that it’s not possible, but it will require lots of classes and lots of practice to be a competitive dancer. Choreograph pieces if you get the chance, volunteer to choreograph student productions, and if you still feel that this is where your talents/interests lie, then up the number of dance classes you take as much as you can. But know that you are getting a late start to compete with experienced dancers for any dance major/minor that requires an audition. The good news is that in most cities, dance classes are plentiful and it is not hard to continue your training even after college. Good luck!</p>
