Yes… it’s an odd pairing. I’m a junior and have been doing jazz and tap for roughly around 5 years. It hasn’t been long, but I love it. However, my main goal is to attend grad school in classics. I don’t want to stop dancing and really want to minor in it… but this concerns me in that I’m afraid that it’ll eat up too much time. Language is kind of a concern since I need to be somewhat fluent in French and German (and possibly Italian). Luckily, I have already had 4 years of French and am taking AP French for my senior year. I was even considering minoring French with Classics… but dance really defines me. Should I minor in dance? I guess it would help me since it should show grad schools that I’m “well rounded”… but I’m afraid it’ll hurt me in the long run during my undergraduate years :/
