[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have experience with George Mason’s dance program? I saw a performance at the Center for the Arts last spring and was impressed with the caliber of dancers and choreography I saw. Truly exceptional. DD doesn’t want to stay so close to home, and the campus is a bit dull, but the dance program seemed very strong.[/quote]

It is an excellent program as long as you don't want to perform ballets.[/quote]

George Mason is great. Our funny experience there was with a very engaging, recent grad, a male, talking about his entrance into dance....as a sophomore at Mason when they needed a male dancer and asked him to take a class. So fast forward, he had since graduated and had opened a small studio ( and he had another non dance related job).  But I'm sure the room full of female dancers, many of whom began at 
three, noted that he seemed to be saying that he basically began dancing at around twenty. If you have a son who wants to dance, I suspect his presence will be highly valued at most schools. 😉 [/quote]

This is nothing new nor surprising. Dance programs need men, especially strong ones who can lift grown adults above their heads. I’ve seen Mason male dancers. They are unbelievably strong and they need to be. I’ll bet your friend was an athlete already, not some dude off the street. A well trained male dancer can write his own ticket.[/quote]
