<p>Start Duke dance major discussion here!</p>
<p>I'm also really curious bout Duke's dance program. Ballet has been one of my favorite past times for many years - so important that I would turn down an Ivy acceptance (not that I am applying to any) if it did not have a commendable dance program.
Thanks for starting this thread :)</p>
<p>This is just word of mouth, so take it with a grain of salt. I have not heard good things about Duke's dance program. In fact, a friend of mine really hated it so she stopped dancing all together. I think opinions may vary depending on your ability within dance. Also, it is possible she just did not want to dance anymore because it took up too much time. On the other hand, I know many ballet dancers from previous training/ SI's that are now at Duke, and I believe they are dancing there. My advice: go visit and take a class. I realize this is the Duke thread but Harvard seems to have an amazing ballet program. Also, I would definitely recommend Vassar over any dance program. Sorry for raining on the Duke parade!</p>
