<p>You have a great GPA! I think the first thing you need to do is decide what you want to major in - is it Dance? Or do you want to minor? Secondly, after you have made that decision - if you decide to major in Dance - do you want a BA/BS which gives you more “college” courses, or would you like to go for a BFA which is centered mostly around dance with a few required courses (this is the degree many people who want to dance as a career go for) - of course ALL of this varies by school.</p>
<p>Don’t let the fact that you don’t have “traditional” dance training - (ballet since you could barely walk) don’t be discouraged! That said, I would suggest trying to look outside of Missouri and Texas - there are many programs all around the country which offer scholarships and financial aid. You may also find more opportunities in different parts of the country for people with not very much traditional experience - expanding your region can only expand your options!</p>
<p>Look into AMDA - they are located in both NYC and LA and accept 77% of the students who apply! You are bound to find a program somewhere; as the great Alvin Ailey said “Dance is for everybody”</p>
