DANCE IN COLLEGE UNPOPULAR OPINION

 (FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE)

•MANY UNIVERSITIES WITH DANCE PROGRAMS PRIORITIZE FREE WRITING AND IMPOV OVER REAL MOVEMENT INSTRUCTION. UNLESS DANCERS CAN AFFORD A CONSERVATORY PROGRAM, THEIR DANCE INSTRUCTION SEVERELY LACKS.

•SOME PROFESSORS ALSO SPEAK POORLY ABOUT TECHNIQUE. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR PRIOR TRAINING AND NO ONE SHOULD MAKE YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT. MANY TRAINED DANCERS DON'T FEEL FULFILLED BY ROLLING ON THE FLOOR FOR HOURS.
