<p>I know for a fact that I want to study Dance in college, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about the Dance/Theatre department? Is the training there any good? I've been dancing for eleven years, practicing ten hours a week when I was younger, and then up to twenty hours a week as I've gotten older. Please let me know any sort of information! Thank you. :)</p>
<p>If arts is your goal, go to a different school. srs.</p>
<p>why don’t you want to go to a specialty school or something? or a school that is well-known for a great dance program?</p>
<p>i’ve seen a few productions at Cal and took my R1B in tdps, and I can say I’m proud of our TDPS deptartment. but it’s not like it’s berkeley’s precious gem dept or anything…</p>
<p>Well, yeah, don’t get me wrong, I’m way interested in other schools, and my main goal is actually a college in New York. But I got into a summer program at Berkeley and I’m going up there for ten days, and it got me thinking, so I was just wondering. :)</p>
<p>Just throwing this out there, but if you’re looking for drama/dance in the area, Stanford is among the best for both. Its drama department was ranked #2 by the NRC (behind NYU). Its dance division is also known to be one of the best (it’s housed within the drama department), with a ton of student dance groups too.</p>

<p>Drama and dance currently occupy several theaters/stages on campus, and are being expanded to the buildings that were recently vacated by the business school (which has a new home).</p>

<p>And because Stanford’s expanding in this and attempting to recruit more arts students, I think it’d help your chances of getting in.</p>
<p>It seems like they just offer a dance minor. O:</p>
