Program selectivity and Dance training

<p>I think the minor is mostly self-selective. I think fewer than 20 people audition each semester. Everyone I know who auditioned got in, but I only knew a few other people who auditioned. I know my audition wasn’t the best, but they accepted me anyways.</p>

<p>The School of Theatre offers dance classes every semester. MT minor students are required to take one dance class or movement or the musical theatre audition class, but I don’t think there’s a cap on how many you can take.</p>

The dance classes offered are THTR 181-189. I think they may be adding a pointe class as well.</p>

<p>I haven’t done the dance component yet, so I can’t tell you how intense it is!</p>

<p>Here’s the breakdown of required classes for the minor:
