<p>Yes... it's an odd pairing. I'm a junior and have been doing jazz and tap for roughly around 5 years. It hasn't been long, but I love it. However, my main goal is to attend grad school in classics. I don't want to stop dancing and really want to minor in it... but this concerns me in that I'm afraid that it'll eat up too much time. Language is kind of a concern since I need to be somewhat fluent in French and German (and possibly Italian). Luckily, I have already had 4 years of French and am taking AP French for my senior year. I was even considering minoring French with Classics... but dance really defines me. Should I minor in dance? I guess it would help me since it should show grad schools that I'm "well rounded"... but I'm afraid it'll hurt me in the long run during my undergraduate years :/</p>
<p>If there are any dance organizations as EC’s would you be okay with that, not as classes?</p>
<p>That is an option I am considering. However, many of the schools I will be applying to have dance organizations focused only on the department, rather than an open EC. A prime example is my top choice… Kenyon. Pretty much, I am gearing my applications toward small and prestigious LACs.</p>
<p>I’m not too sure that grad schools look for well-rounded students, but rather students who are exceptional in their area of study. A dance minor may not help your application for graduate study in classics. In fact, I’m not sure that French will be helpful…don’t you need to learn Greek and Latin?</p>
<p>Yeah…you need Ancient Greek and Latin. What would French and German do?</p>
<p>A prerequisite of most schools require some preparation of German, French, or Italian for acceptance. Basically, some sort of reading ability. And yes, I will be focusing on Classical languages.</p>
<p>DaRetro, I don’t think a minor would hurt you at all. I double majored and got into several classics graduate programs, and I know quite a few others who had second majors/minors in fields ranging from religion to geology. </p>
<p>You probably know this already, but Barnard immediately comes to mind for that combination.</p>
