missy12784 Posted March 30, 2002 Report Share Posted March 30, 2002 After high school I want to join a company. My parents want me to go to college so I will have an alternate career if my ballet career doesn't work out. And I also want to get a BA in performing at U. of Utah. And when I retire from danceing I also want to be a costume designer? Is all of this possible? It doesn't seem like it. Confussed:confused: Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted March 30, 2002 Administrators Report Share Posted March 30, 2002 All of it is possible, Missy, assuming of course that you have the talent and training to get accepted to the Dance Dept. at Utah, and then into a professional company Some dancers are "company ready", or almost, when they graduate from high school, and they choose to do a trainee or apprenticeship if they get that opportunity. Sometimes they will defer college acceptance for a year to do this, and see if they can make into a company. Others choose to continue their training in a college program while also receiving additional education. Sometimes they go to college for a year or two, then dance, and eventually go back and finish up. There are various routes, and the hard part is figuring out which one is best for you.
