<p>Can anyone tell me about University of Alabama's Dance Program and University of Richmond's dance program? I looked through their websites and got the feel that Alabama was more professional, rigid, while Richmond was more relaxed and less technique oriented. Does anyone know anything about either?</p>
<p>Bumping this for Alabama information, please. Specifically, how well rounded is the program? My D really wants a program that has jazz and tap, along with the opportunity to audition for musical theater productions.</p>
<p>Alabama’s excellent academic scholarships are making us want to take a serious look, but we are in Michigan, so visiting would be difficult.</p>
<p>If visiting isn’t feasible, why not call the program and ask them to put your daughter in contact with a current student to get her questions answered. I don’t know anything about either of these programs, but I have had good results with asking for this in the past, for dance and for other academic programs.</p>
