Just to give you a taste of ballet class availability, here is what I have found in doing some research on the topic:

American University. - Three levels of ballet, each level meets twice a week for 75 minutes. Three levels of modern, meets three times a week for 75 minutes. Unfortunately, fall of 2007 all levels except for beginning were cancelled. NOTE: Some of this class time may be spent in lecture or discussion - mentions reading, papers and the like in association with these classes.

Elon. - three 70 minute classes a week. I believe four levels are offered.

Goucher. - this school is well known for offering dance - both Modern and Ballet meet four times a week - pointe class (twice a week) also available – each class is 80 minutes.

Ithaca College. Four levels of ballet, class meets three times a week for 90 minutes plus optional 20 minutes of pointe. Instructor looks good, associated with respectable local ballet school. Two levels of modern, meets twice a week for 2 hours.

Occidental. Beginning and Intermediate. Intermediate meets twice a week, 85 minute classes.

Tulane. - Ballet III, four times a week, 80 minute classes. Other levels, two sections of two 80 minute classes - not clear if it is possible to take both. Modern III also meets four 80 minute classes a week.

University of Miami. - two 80 minute classes a week

University of Richmond. - Intermediate Ballet is the highest level offered Fall 2007 - two 75 minute classes-- also, by audition, “University Dancers,” three company classes a week.
