<p>I know Jacobs has got a fantastic ballet program, but I was wondering if any of y'all have any insights as to their elective dance program. I'm considering IU for a number of their other majors/programs, and I was wondering what kind of treatment their elective program has. Is it a multi-level class? Is it split into several studios within that time period? Is it taken seriously by the department?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

The IU Ballet Department offers ballet classes for levels Beginner through Advanced to students across the IU campus.</p>
<p>Teachers are from the IU Ballet Department’s Majors’ Program, who study pedagogy under Rory Foster, former American Ballet Theatre dancer and author of The Art of Teaching.</p>
<p>Classes take place in the Ballet Department from 8am to 11am and 5:45pm to 8:30pm.</p>
<p>Schedules can be obtained through the Schedule of Classes and are listed under the Jacobs School of Music. For undergraduates, the course is MUS-J100 and for graduate students, it is MUS-J700. There is no audition or placement class for elective ballet classes.</p>
<p>All students wishing to participate in any elective ballet class must officially register, as the Jacobs School of Music does not allow auditing of MUS-J100 or MUS-J700.</p>
