I can answer the dance question:

Barnard offers 6 graduated levels in both ballet and modern and they also offer other styles as well, but not as many levels. The also offer solo/ repertoire classes in the different styles, often taught by guest faculty for a semester or two.

The way placement in the different levels works: you attend the level you “think” you should be in during the “shopping” phase (first week or two) of the semester. The instructor will see how many are in the class and look at the levels of ability there and may suggest that you move into another class (or you can make that decision yourself). Participation in solo/rep classes is more limited, I believe. It’s at the discretion of the instructor (I think). Check the dance dept’s website for more class descriptions…

My d LOVED being involved in dance at Barnard!!!
