[quote=Anonymous]I am old but grew up dancing at Wash Ballet.  I don’t know anyone that actually graduated as a dance major.

Friend went to Utah. SLC used to be much more conservative.  Hated it and moved on.

Friend went to NYU for dance.  Changed major after one year.

Know people who studied other things and continued dancing in the side at Princeton, Harvard.

Know someone who danced at William and Mary, majored in Kineseo and now is a MD.

Dance is not a good job hunting major.  Can work with another minor.

If you’re not looking for ballet it might be ok.  Very few go from college dance programs to paying ballet gigs. It happens, but those people had the physique and needed a little more strength or refinement.

I am honestly would like to what kind of jobs dance majors from UMD, VCU etc are getting after graduation. Dance has such a short performing window.  Actors, singers, musicians can have long fulfilling careers.  Dancers have to transition.  The body can’t do it forever.

Just curious how thing play out in todays world…….
