Can i go to a dance collage without even takin dance lesson for 7 years?
25th March 2010
Unfortunatly i moved to a different country and was unable to take dance lessons again as they do not speak english (n) I really miss dancing and i want to be able to do it again. Would there be a collage willing to accept me?
You’d be able to attend a non-audition dance program, typically found in a liberal arts college. You’d just need to get accepted into the college based on your grades and test scores. Examples of such colleges with non-audition dance programs are Swarthmore, Barnard and Smith.
However, there are a couple of exceptions. Columbia College Chicago, for example, is a private arts college that does not require an audition to major in dance.

Usually you have to audition to be placed or sometimes audition to be admitted. So you would need to brush up on your skills for sure.
They might. The only thing you can do is try!
Good luck!

Why on earth would they have to speak English for you to go to dance lessons?
Go to lessons, and pick up some of the language of the country you are living in.

My daughter graduated with a BFA in dance in May of 2008. She has studied dance across the U.S., including three other college dance programs (two as a high school student and two as a college student). Her broad exposure to dance education has forced me to learn a lot about the subject. She is now a professional dancer.
