Dance Program

<p>Any dancers on this forum? My daughter will most likely attend Tufts this fall. She has been dancing for 10 years - ballet. She would like to continue her training, on or off campus. An insight on this? I think Tufts' dance program is more focused on modern.</p>

<p>I'm a ballet dancer, too. The dance department's ballet classes are pretty good. I've only taken one, as I do a lot of my own training by myself... but no disappointments yet! It is more focused on modern, though.</p>

<p>You can always look into auditing courses at the ballet conservatory in Boston. I have become less serious about my dancing (for better or for worse, I just found new interests) and didn't, but was considering doing so as a freshman at Tufts.</p>

<p>Do you know how much a ballet class at the conservatory would cost? Are they available to students by audition or do you just sign up for them?</p>

<p>I'm almost definately coming to Tufts in the fall and I just wanted to know.</p>

<p>Also, do you know about musical training in general? I sing and play violin, for example, and I would like to continue my singing at least with private lessons as much as I can. Do lessons come through the university or would I have to take them elsewhere? If they are available through the university, what is the quality that you get?</p>

<p>Don't know about the details re: dancing at the conservatory as I never did it myself. Do some research online :)</p>

<p>You can take voice lessons and instrument lessons at Tufts. Quite good, from what I hear, but I have no experience myself. CC poster "Bluirinka" can probably help you with this!</p>
