I just want to add that even if the dance program itself has no audition there will be auditions for any dance company/performance opportunities. My D22 grew up in a small rural area and although she had good dance training she was completely unprepared for the realities of auditions. She’s done well but there have been a lot of disappointments along the way that she had to persevere through. She attends a college with no dance major (although they are adding one next year) but an excellent dance program. She doesn’t concentrate on ballet though so her search would have been different than your daughter’s. There is a parent on here whose screen name is escaping me whose daughter sounds very similar to yours. She ended up at UCI. Her voyage getting there was very interesting trying to balance ballet and academics. Hopefully she will chime in.
