Dance 2021-2022

My DD is waiting to hear from Indiana, Ailey / Fordham , NYU and USC.

We are still waiting on NYU and USC also, in addition to SMU (yet to audition), SUNY Purchase, UC Irvine and LMU.

Oh best wishes to your daughter !!! Actually, my DD also applied to SUNY Purchase but we have not heard anything yet


Good luck to your daughter as well. It’s a long process. :slight_smile:

Well, in all honesty, it has been a rough year with LMU being virtual both semesters. Very challenging to dance in your apartment kitchen. The chair, Roz, is quite lovely, and appears to care a great deal about the students. Fingers crossed that next year will be in person! (they are planning for that to be the case). My daughter received a small scholarship for applying early action and a small merit scholarship. Certainly didn’t bring down the COA by that much, but every little bit helps!

We visited the LMU campus with my older daughter and at it is so beautiful. My younger daughter would have applied but she wants a program with a little more ballet emphasis .

Yes, from your list of other programs that your daughter is looking at, it seems like other schools might be a better fit. And yes, the campus is the most beautiful campus I have every seen. It is a shame my daughter cannot even access it this year. :frowning_face:

Thank you for the information. We tried to visit campus in September, but it was completely shut down, so we just walked around the perimeter. The area is also beautiful, but we wish we could have seen it.

I am so excited to see where they all end up. Such a long process, but hopefully totally worth it in the end.

My daughter '21 has been admitted to LMU, Utah and Point Park so far. She is still waiting to hear from a few more, but I think the choice will likely come down to these 3. We noticed on the LMU website that there is a virtual dance show this Friday night. Do you know if the streaming info will be available on the site or should we contact the dance department in order to get the link?

It appears to have a youtube page already set up. If you google LMU Dance and Impulse youtube, that should get you to the link where you can set a reminder. You can also find the Fall Virtual show on LMU’s CFA (college of communications and fine arts) YouTube page if you want to watch that also.

Thank you so much! We’ll definitely watch both shows. This is such a hard decision to make without visiting the campuses and doing in-person auditions.

You’re welcome! Good luck with decision making process!

Good luck to your daughter! And I agree! It will be hard to make a decision without visiting the campuses.

Hey everyone! Just checking in to see if anyone has heard anything from NYU Tisch or USC Kaufman yet? I have a feeling it won’t be until next week.

Hello! We just heard from SUNY Purchase. But we have not heard yet from USC or NYU

Us too
 there is one piece of good news. :slight_smile:

I am glad for your daughter!! And yes at least some good news!

My daughter has been accepted to UArts. However, we haven’t visited the school due to Covid. Would love to hear feedback - pros/cons. I know it’s in a city so no campus feeling but specifically about the dance program? THANKS!

Hello! has anyone heard from the Fordham/ Ailey program??
