Swarthmore Dance

<p>I recently visited swarthmore, and really, really liked it. I'm still nervous about applying ED because I'm scared I'll realize in march that I don't actually want to go to the school (assuming I get in, which certainly isn't guaranteed). </p>

<p>Anyway, I'm trying to get more information about Swarthmore's dance program because I definitely want to dance in college in student groups etc. and although I've danced through high school, I don't have the experience that many other dancer do. </p>

<p>Ideally, I'd love to dance 3-4 times a week, and while I know I can take classes, I'd also like to be involved in student run groups. What are the groups like at swat, and are they highly competitive to get into?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>As I understand it, Swarthmore’s dance program is well respected. There are a lot of opportunities for non-dance majors to get involved in performances, which draw large and enthusiastic crowds. If you want to dance at Swat, you would certainly be able to dance.</p>

<p>Are those dance classes though, or student run groups? I know they have a great program through the department, but I was also wondering about groups outside of that. I’ve heard about Terpsichore, which is a group I’d be interested in, but I don’t know much about it.</p>

<p>I think those were dance department productions.</p>

<p>Here’s one from a student dance group:</p>
