Final Decision: NYU Tisch Dance BFA</p>

<p>Training (type of studio,performing arts school, etc): used to be a competition dancer with very successful studio, but after soph year transitioned to small ballet-only studio and greatly increased # hours of ballet and pointe, and took Horton modern at another area studio, with a little jazz/contemporary from time to time at 2 other studios; also took master classes and mini-workshops from other area or visiting teachers whenever she could</p>

<p>Summer Intensive(s): Perry Mansfield, New York City Dance Alliance Summer Dance Intensive, Generation IV, Burklyn Ballet Theatre, Alvin Ailey Professional Division, ABT Collegiate (this summer)</p>

<p>Why We made the decision we did: The faculty and Dance chair at NYU seemed to really want her and made her feel so valued and welcome when we visited after her acceptance. She got a Tisch artistic award too. We felt NYU was her best academic option, and she liked that it was a bigger school with many options for minor, clubs, etc… plus it is in a good area of NYC.</p>
