学生评价
Creative and self-disciplined. You’ll need to be able to manage your time well. It also helps to be a good listener and a good teacher.
Many students choose to focus their study on Dance Education.
Dance programs are generally competitive, as is the case with most performance programs.
Be prepared to submit a videotape of your past performances. You’ll probably also have to give a live audition to be accepted to a Dance program.
