Those days of majoring in dance and getting into law school or grad school are long gone. You need a serious record of difficult courses, great letters of recommendation and great LSATs or GRE scores and ECs, just like for high school.

She's not interested in going to law school and she can get into grad school with her degree.

Everyone I have ever known who danced professionally did it before college. Granted, they were all in ballet, so my reference may be narrow, but they were all dancers before studying.

A PP cited someone claiming they had been a dance major and had gone into law. That might have happened 30 to 40 years ago but not now. Competition for grad school is too fierce. I've encouraged my kids to take marketable majors in engineering, computer science, unique foreign language, etc.
