Keeping her dance up at a high level was a huge factor in my daughter’s decision (she actually had a few pure dance programs on her list). In addition to @Notmath1 list about (and vouching for UArts, Roosevelt/Dance Emphasis and Point Park) I can add a few we were excited about last year:

Hartt (leveled and option to take with dance majors)
University of Buffalo (can graduate with a BFA in MT and BA in Dance if auditioned acceptance to both)

Caution on some programs that have an auditioned Dance BFA - depending on the school you may need to audition and petition to be let into the dance major classes. Sometimes they are not able or conflicts make it impractical.

And some schools have clubs, workshops and nearby dance studios for afterclass noncredit opportunity.
