Pace BA Theater Arts?

<p>Yup…same letter did come, offering the BA/Commercial Dance if approved by the State. Is anyone considering hanging on for this offer? Kiddo has made other choices, but we do think it’s a great thing that a school is considering offering high-level dance training in this “niche”.</p>

<p>I also am accepted into the potential BA Theatre Commercial Dance Track! I love Pace with the city advantages, however my heart was really set on BFA Musical Theatre, so now this is a high option for me. However, I do want to know more about this program and how flexible it would be as a BA to have a Musical Theatre Education, with a Dance concentration at school, and I guess voice lessons found else-where in the city…
Does anyone have any idea of how legit and soon to be approved this theoretical major is??!?!</p>

<p>I applied for BFA Musical Theatre and fell completely in love with the school, but I just got my letter…no BFA MT… BUT I did get accepted into the possible BA Theatre Arts Dance Concentration Major. Pace is definitely a high option for me, with the program, city and scholarship money, but I’m not totally sure what to think about the BA in Theatre Dance…(wondering if its a Theatre/Dance track or more like a Musical Theatre Track with concentration in Dance kinda) I know you don’t really know about this new program haha, but I was just wondering if you had any info or idea about my situation as student there. My mom thinks I’d be sad going to Pace for the BA, and not the BFA because that’s what I had really wanted and since some MT/ Voice classes are only for MT students…any thoughts or comments about this situation or Pace in general as a theatre student would be immensely appreciated!!!</p>

<p>ReneeMarie - If you are at Pace in NYC, you won’t have any trouble finding extra voice/acting lessons from great teachers in the city to round out your BA as needed.</p>

<p>Thank you, good point classicalbk!</p>

<p>Has anyone heard more information as to whether the Commercial Dance focus is going to be approved for Pace? It sounded like a fascinating program…kiddo has made other choices, but would love to know if the program is going to get to start this fall!</p>

<p>Haven’t heard anything new yet about the new commercial dance concentration… But I did talk to an admissions counselor when I visited and he seemed fairly confident the program would go through the state. But I still would like to know more about the course offerings and curriculum , no one seemed to give me a positive answer when I was there.</p>

<p>The BA in Theatre Arts Commercial Dance Focus has been approved. Does anyone plan to attend?</p>

<p>^Curious to know, too! Daughter got a great email and call from Pace, letting her know the approval was granted, and encouraging her to attend Pace, as a Commercial Dance major, but she’s already (happily) committed to another school. If there are any future Commercial Dance Focus majors, would love to learn more about the curriculum, the major, etc as you move forward. (A friend of d’s, a little younger, is very interested.)</p>
