Answer 2

good for you!!! it's always best to get a head start ad be proactive. it depends on what type of dance you want to pursue; musical theatre, ballet, jazz, modern, etc. there is a catalog that you can order called Dance Magazine College Guide and it lists tons of colleges that have dance programs and Pointe magazine has an issue that lists colleges all over the world; some more prestigious  than others, but i think it will help you in your quest.

here are some of the schools i'm looking at:

UC irvine

julliard (ny)

CAL State Fullerton

Chapman university

marymount manhattan college (ny)

oaklahoma city university

oral roberts university

point park university

there is also NYU, Queens, and a few others i can't think of but you get the idea. just stay open minded, and remember that julliard isn't the ONLY one that produces fantastic dancers/performers. but think about what your ultimate goal is (ABT, SFB, mark moris, broadway...etc.) and find out what you need to do to get there.

Answer 3

my friend is starting at a small but good dance college in mississippi called bellhaven. if you think your not quite good enough for a big dance school this would be worth looking into. all types of dance, my friend is in love with it. hope this helps!

Answer 4

my dance teacher went to townson university in maryland. they have a really good dance program there. i don't know much about it but you can probably look it up and see how good it is compared to juliard.

Answer 5

Learn to Dance, Dance lessons, Dance tuition, Dance College ... We are happy to welcome you to Dance College Studios. Dance College Studios is not just another dance school.
