I’d say you probably have as good of a chance as anyone else. The unfortunate things with these schools (especially HYPSM) is that its essentially a crapshoot who gets in. But if I was an adcom, I’d take you based on what I’ve read!

With a dancing background like that, you should reach out to the dance teachers/instructors at Princeton to see if they can help you with your admission (or at the very least lend advice). Dance is your biggest strength- use it. Look up ballet groups at Princeton and try shooting some of the students emails about how/if they used dance to help them get in.
