Dance at Fordham LC

<p>Is it possible to take dance classes at LC/Ailey without being a dance major? I have no experience with modern dance; I'm just looking to take a few classes and maybe minor if possible. I've heard the dance program is super intensive so I'm not sure if there's anything milder for total beginners.</p>

<p>Slightly less important question: is there an active ballroom dance club or team at Fordham, or should I look elsewhere for that?</p>

<p>Love your screenname :D</p>

<p>*Dance Courses for Nonmajors</p>

<p>Fordham undergraduates not pursuing the B.F.A. may enroll for up to four two-credit courses at The Ailey School and apply their courses toward their credit requirement for graduation. Students wishing to take intermediate and advanced level courses must first audition at The Ailey School before registering. In addition to their Fordham tuition, each student will be billed an additional fee per course through Fordham. For further information please contact the assistant dean. Courses for nonmajors are numbered from DANC 1300-1399 and include “Nonmajors” in their title.</p>

<p>And I know there is a ballroom dance club. I’m not sure how active it is, but they do have a page on Orgsync (our club-website thing)… Try emailing fordhamballroomdance {at} gmail {dot} com or the president, Fred (fengelhardt2 {at} fordham {dot} edu). From their page, it looks like they have weekly meetings, although those might be at RH.</p>

<p>Ahh, thank you for the prompt, quality response! I’m caught between Sarah Lawrence and Fordham right now and weighing the little details is a big help. :)</p>

<p>Yes, my DD is at Lincoln Center. Alley is without comparison.</p>
