<p>Interesting article talking about which colleges are best for different types of dance, including musical theater:</p>
<p>Top</a> Ten Dance Universities | The Classroom | Synonym on Synonym</p>
<p>Interesting, but I am always skeptical of articles or lists trying to quantify and rank arts programs. They are so subjective and the authors, being human, can skew things even without meaning to.</p>
<p>Interesting read. Depending on your level and what you want out of the dance p make sure you ask questions when you are researching the program-especially if they are deal breakers. Some dance questions to ask are; Do MT majors take dance class with the dance majors? If not who teaches the dance classes for MT? Does everyone in MT start in the same class or are you put into your level? Are there opportunities for Dance performance? </p>
<p>Of course this is all part of knowing what you want out of the program. I found after going through this process my D would ask different questions now then she did last year and I think would have been able to narrow down her list much easier.</p>
<p>Gosh, I’m such a naysayer!! To me, these types of articles always come across as nothing more than advertisements. Notice how each segment - ballet, modern, jazz - lists different schools, getting the names of as many colleges as possible listed. You never see, say, University of Indiana listed under ballet and jazz (why would they have only a good ballet program? wouldn’t they want to offer a good program in all dance disciplines?).</p>
