I’m looking for insight on any program out there that won’t pass over a dancer who doesn’t look like a dancer on sight. My daughter is a former power tumbler and doesn’t look like a dancer, but she does hope to dance in college (double major with early childhood Ed). She’s currently in a ballet conservatory for high school and dancing 16 hours per week (20 with nutcracker rehearsals). She and I both guess that she’d be denied from auditions based on looks alone, so we are looking for schools that do not require an audition. She would love to go to school somewhere near the beach. If all else fails she plans to apply to Loyola Marymount and Long Beach and minor in dance. Has anyone had a heavier dancer successfully major in dance in college? She knows she’ll never be a professional but she does want to teach dance one day.
