<p>Applied to: University of the Arts, Shenandoah and Point Park University</p>
<p>Auditioned : UARTS, Shenandoah, SUNY Buffalo and Point Park University</p>
<p>Accepted to all artisitically, but did not complete academic application to SUNY Buffalo(did not feel the dance program would be challenging enough).</p>
<p>Final Decision: Point Park (jazz major)</p>
<p>Training: Very strong competition studio, with additional ballet and modern training at a consveratory type of studio. Also particpated in a number of dance workshops and assisted a number of industry dancers through Excel in Motion for two years (Alex Wong, Kent Boyd, Ade Chike Torbert, Twicth and a few others). Attended the Alvin AileySummer Intensive</p>
<p>We were looking for a triple emphasis program, with a strong reputation for training quality dancers. Point Park offerered tickets to a show during the same weekend as the aduition. We were blown away by the caliber of dancers and my daughter felt that she would be most challenged there. In addition, they offered the best financial aid package. </p>
