This guide was specifically designed to help you and your high school student decide on a college dance program. It's for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, stressed, or confused about selecting the right fit. We interviewed graduates who became professional dancers, surveyed parents who've been through the process, and collected information and input to be of assistance. Every college dance program is NOT created equally. Each has its unique foundation, culture, and focus. We guide you through programs of all shapes and sizes, and answer the following questions: What should I look for in a college dance program? What scholarships can I apply for? What are the differences between studying dance in high school vs. college? How do I prepare for college auditions? What careers can a college degree lead to? The Genius Guide to College Dance Programs simplifies the search process and guides the next step of your dance career.
