Is she wanting to commit to dance as a major? A great way to combine business with dance/arts is arts administration which is often a strong program at schools with excellent dance departments like Butler which offers a BA and BFA . However, if she is looking to double major, she may find this will be discouraged or not possible within the strongest dance departments as they spend so much time in rehearsal and performing that only a minor is feasible. So, start with what her goals are truly as dance is a huge commitment and extremely competitive. Visit some of the strongest departments online and watch videos to see where your daughter stands in terms of her technique. The strongest departments require auditions (in ballet and modern class generally) and so it is important to consider this in terms of her ability to be accepted as a dance major. If she wants to just take dance classes while she majors in business, this is possible at most every school these days - to varying levels and degrees. Auditions at some schools for majors have already begun so be sure to get online and sign up for those schools of interest asap. Some will require that you apply to the school first before being allowed to auditions but others do not. Some close out auditions due to demand in January, so be sure to look after this right away-you may always cancel the audition later!
