[quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this has been mentioned or not but if she's talking about "lyrical" dance, as the OP mentioned, she's a competition team dancer and not a serious ballet student at a pre-professional school, which is where professional ballet companies recruit from, to use a sports word. Lyrical is a blend of ballet and jazz and isn't taught as a dance form at serious schools (e.g. WSB, Maryland Youth Ballet).

My point is that the idea she should be starting a career in a professional ballet company now instead of going to college probably is not realistic or a helpful discussion because unless she's been winning scholarships at YAGP or is a prodigy, most likely she doesn't have the training for that.

Contemporary dance is another story, but they don't have the same strict requirements. Telling the OP that her daughter has already missed the boat if she wants a career in dance isn't accurate.

My college roommate was a dance and art double major and went to law school. Best of both worlds.[/quote]
