<p>And I will add: be sure to GO to the MT dance classes. Lots of them. See if you are challenged. PUSH to go to them. One of the schools my D got into, that was geographically exactly where she wanted to be, initially would not let her come to attend a dance class (this was in April, decision time). We pushed and said it was a deal breaker, and they finally let her, but she did not find the class, which was supposedly upper level, challenging. She instantly eliminated that school. Yes, she wants training in the areas she is less experienced in, but it was important to her to not lose any of her dance skills, and to be able to continue dancing at the level she is already at (to start), and to continue to grow in dance. Bottom line: don’t go by what they say; go to dance class! And talk to other students to make sure there is room in their schedules to TAKE extra dance if they choose. At Montclair, if you are advanced enough, you take dance with the dance majors, and you can minor in dance.</p>
