Can you please help me find some good performing arts or dance schools that are possible in U.S.?

Question

The schools must at least have dance as a major. Im also looking for the one with Kinseology also.

Answer 1

All accredited dance programs are sure to include at least one course offering in kinesiology or similarly-named class (ex. dynamic anatomy). However, if you're looking for "good" college dance programs (the question is how you, personally, define that) that also have access to a kinesiology major or minor, that's going to be a bit tougher.

Here is my list of what I consider are the top college dance programs in the U.S. I've put an asterisk besides the schools that also have departments of kinesiology or exercise science (or as far as I can tell; don't take my word as final).

Arizona State University* (asu.edu)
Butler University (butler.edu)
Indiana University* (indiana.edu)
Juilliard School (juilliard.edu)
Marymount Manhattan College (mmm.edu)
NYU, Tisch School of the Arts (*maybe) (tisch.nyu.edu)
Ohio State University(Exercise Science Minor) (osu.edu)
Point Park University (pointpark.edu)
Southern Methodist University (smu.edu)
SUNY, Purchase (purchase.edu)
Temple University* (temple.edu)
University of Arizona (arizona.edu)
University of Michigan* (umich.edu)
University of Oklahoma* (ou.edu)
University of South Florida (usf.edu)
University of Utah* (utah.edu)
University of the Arts (uarts.edu)

Please note: what constitutes a "good" or top dance program can be subjective, however I define it as one that stands a good chance of launching you into a performing dance career. If you're just interested in becoming a dance teacher, then your options are much wider and you're likely to find more combinations of dance and kinesiology at many public universities. Also note, that while schools may OFFER both dance and kinesiology, it can be very difficult to combine an academic program with most B.F.A dance programs as the days of a dance student are very full.

Answer 2

Well, as Juilliard is a very good school it is certainly not the only one and not necessarily right for everyone. I would look up the League of Professional Theater Training Program schools and check out the possibilities allowing for cost, geography and personal taste and then visit the school and see how it relates to the repertory components based at the school. There are many fine schools besides Juilliard, not to belittle it but there are some great dance programs out there. Also I would call some of the dance companies directly as many have internship programs and sometimes schools attached to them.

Answer 3

I agree, Juiliard is a VERY well known and is like the Harvard of all Performing Art Schools. Anyone would recommend that school to you, because it is the best answer to give someone who asked the same question you did and it is nothing but the absolute truth.

Answer 4

it particularly is particularly useful to be an actress *sometime*, yet stunning now you haven't any longer something to furnish an agent. they only make funds once you artwork - they are no longer there to coach you, or show you common a thank you to even write a disguise letter (do they provide English on your college???), and that they genuinely do no longer care in case you have been in some little college production. you have fantasies, yet NO training and journey. Why would desire to everybody what you? till you have something to furnish, you're no longer everybody they desire. era.

Answer 5
