Yep @monkey13, I’d consider all of those classes studio training too except I don’t know what you mean by a rep class. That might be something that Tisch would call a theatre studies class. (Not that it matters.) Anyway, I’m sure there is more than 20 hours of studio training but probably less than 30 or they would have said over-30. My daughter has 27 hours of classes this semester and all but 3 of those hours are professional training studio type classes. The remaining class is an elective and it too has the word theatre in it.
I think I misunderstood what you were saying about Ithaca’s dance hours. You may have been just answering lgallybroadway’ s question in post #170 and meant that your daughter is able to take extra classes so easily dances 10 hours a week. I thought you meant the core dance training is that much at Ithaca which didn’t seem consistent with the revised curriculum they have on their website http://www.ithaca.edu/hs/depts/theatre/docs/Marketing/Pathways/MTPathway.pdf. Sorry if I’ve caused confusion and a tangent.
@lgallybroadway since you did specifically mention NYU in your question I can speak to that. I just added up the dance hours for fall semester senior year at Tisch and to be precise, the seniors have 5 hours and 40 minutes of leveled dance training this semester. Sure, if you are in a show, you dance more but that would be the case at any school and it also would be show and role dependent so I’d not factor that stuff in if you are specifically looking for a program with regular dance heavy weekly hours of training. I do indeed believe you can dance more if you want to at Tisch. I know some of my daughter’s friends attend multiple sessions of the same class and within reason, the instructors tolerate it. Then as I said, you may be able to take additional credits through Tisch open Arts classes or some other way. I’m not the expert as my daughter has not sought that out specifically at Tisch. However, she did last year take several hours of private dance instruction outside of Tisch. Obviously with an NYC location, there is plenty of that to be had.
