<p>I see you posted this two years ago, but my daughter is in a similar situation…she’s only a junior in High school, but we’ve started our search. She is currently in a dance company that performs jazz, modern, hip hop, tap,and ballet…doesn’t want to major in dance, but wants to keep dancing. An important question for anyone in a similar situation is whether a Dance program at a particular school restricts their Advanced dance classes to Dance Majors…(For example, George Mason has a good dance program, but only Dance majors are allowed to take their advanced classes) My son is also a dancer/choreographer from the same company, with strong academics, who didn’t want to major in dance. He is now a senior at Yale, which has NO dance program to speak of… However, they have an EXCELLENT variety of student-led dance groups (membership via audition), and through his membership in 3 separate groups (Yaledancers (modern, jazz, ballet), Taps, and RB (a hip hop group), he has been able to dance, choreograph and grow. Point being that, if you find a school that appeals for other reasons, check out student-led options for dance/performance.</p>
