AnnS Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 I think you made the right decision, and I'm sure they understand and of course won't hold it against her! Its not the first time it's happened, they had a big blizzard two years ago or so... I'm sure it will all work out for the best. Glad you are staying safe! Quote Link to post
BalletMomChicago Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 My DD has been accepted and is strongly considering this program. Any updated reviews would be greatly appreciated!! Quote Link to post
thedancermom Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 BalletMomChicago, Hi! Congrats to your DD! Was just curious how long after the audition she was notified of her acceptance? My DD just auditioned for Point Park last weekend. Thanks! Quote Link to post
AnnS Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hi thedancermom, jumping in here... My DD auditioned January 19 and received email acceptance February 5, and mail notification with scholarship award a few days later. Quote Link to post
thedancermom Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 AnnS, Great! Thanks for the info, congrats to your DD! Has she decided to attend PP? Quote Link to post
AnnS Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Thanks! That acceptance was a great boost... Our decision is a long way off; one more audition yet, and then waiting for complete aid packages and other university decisions to arrive. It will be a numbers game for us, for sure! I will be GLAD when the process is done.😜 Good to luck to you and your DD! Quote Link to post
ballet19 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 I also auditioned this past weekend...I really enjoyed it! The staff was friendly and I love that campus is downtown. Fingers crossed on an acceptance! 🤞 Quote Link to post
thedancermom Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 ballet19, Good luck! My daughter enjoyed it too, hopefully you both will get good news soon! Quote Link to post
thedancermom Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) ballet19, Hi! Have you heard anything from Point Park yet? Edited February 25, 2019 by dancemaven Removed text speak per BT4D Rules and Policies Quote Link to post
ballet19 Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hello thedancermom, I did. I received an email midweek notifying me that I was not accepted into the program. Not surprised, very disappointed though. Audition season is rough sometimes. Hopefully your daughter gets better news than me! Quote Link to post
shewantstodance Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Does anyone know if you can have dual concentration at PP? Can you have both and Jazz and Ballet? I thought you could but my daugther is hearing differently. Any current students have any feedback on the program they would like to share? Quote Link to post
littmanr Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 How are the classes leveled for freshman? Quote Link to post
ballettalkgrm Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Can anyone speak to recent opinions regarding PPU's ballet concentration track? I've read through the entire thread and it seems like in earlier years until about 2016 the ballet focus was very solid and alumni moved on to dance with professional ballet companies. I'm wondering if that is still true since the new dance director took over a few years back? In looking at the current faculty's bios very few seem to have any professional ballet performing experience and the majority of the alumni listed are in modern or contemporary companies if they are dancing professionally.

NavigatingMom Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 ballettalkgrm, As far as the ballet focus at PPU, I know what one of the teachers who recently left there told a class at a summer intensive 2019 - he suggested that if the dancer wanted triple track program then PPU was great for them but if they just wanted to focus on ballet that perhaps they should look elsewhere. My ballerina who is a Senior looking to enter college and focus in ballet fall 2020 took this to heart and was no longer interested in applying there. Hopefully others who are actually students there or who have students there focusing on ballet could also address this issue. Quote Link to post
Kimberk Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 I feel silly asking this, but what is a "triple track program"? Quote Link to post
