Hi
guys, it's Erica! Welcome back to The Ballet World. Today I am going to talk about the top
ten dance colleges in the U.S. This list varies slightly depending on your
source, but each of these schools is definitely in the top tier of dance
colleges. I did not attend a college which a strong dance program because have
also been more focused on ballet. Most of these dance programs are for
individuals interested in pursuing a variety of styles of dance. Most
professional ballerinas do not attend college and join ballet companies right
out of high school. If you are interested in having a dance career in
modern/contemporary or would like to remain studying academics while pursuing a
ballet career, I would recommend that you take a look at the schools listed
below.
Fordham
University has a partnership with The Ailey School. This partnership makes
Fordham an incredible place to study because you can receive a good education
while also learning from some of the best modern teachers in NYC. Rutgers
University has partnerships with Dance Jerusalem and The Laban School of Dance
in South London. Therefore, if you intend to study dance in college, but would
also like to study abroad, Rutgers University is an excellent choice. Butler
University has one of the best college ballet programs. If you are interested
in pursuing a career in ballet, I would suggest checking out Butler. Oklahoma
City University has a great dance program for those who wish to be on Broadway
or in Radio City Music Hall. Many Oklahoma City alumni are currently Rockettes.
I hope my list of colleges is helpful in the college application process. Don’t
forget to check back in a few days to see what’s happening in the ballet world!
