<p>One is not better than the other, just different. It depends on what you want to do with your life. Generally, if all you want to do is perform, you might go with a BFA. But that doesn’t mean you can’t perform if you get a BA. Any many people skip college altogether and go directly into a company from high school on the assumption that their best years are now. If you graduate with a BA, you may want to go on to graduate school in a dance related field, such as physical therapy, arts administration, movement therapy, business (dance studio owner), etc.</p>
<p>A BFA curriculum, often in a conservatory, will be mostly dance with a few academic subjects. Depending where you go, there may be a core curriculum in math, science, English, etc. to fulfill for a BA. You would have to audition for a BFA program, so you must be a strong dancer going in. Many BA programs require no previous dance experience.</p>
