College Dance Programs?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi
I am a sophomore in high school and I am JUST starting to begin to think about colleges. I plan on starting visits this summer and all throughout junior year. I am a serious dancer and I go to a very prestigious private school. I know this sounds SO pretentious. I don't mean it to be but I just want to give all the information possible! I really hope to continue to dance in college. I don't know I want to major in dance but I definitely want to at least minor in dance. I really want to go to the best school that I can (top tier) and I am having a hard time finding schools with reputable dance program and academic record. So far the schools I have found are:
- Bucknell University
- Duke University
- George Washington University
- University of Michigan
- New York University
- Northwestern University
- University of Virginia
- University of Richmond</p>

<p>Has anyone heard anything about these programs (good or bad?)
What other schools have good dance programs?
Any info is helpful! Thanks!</p>
