Teaching dance will likely be part of your career path. But why wait until after graduation to start? Many local studios hire college students to teach while they’re still in school. 

Dancers have intelligent, detail-oriented minds that can excel at understanding finance and economics better than they may realize. Just like technique, it simply takes training and practice—and that can begin when you’re still a student.

Taking proactive measures to care for your mental health is especially important during the college years, when young adults are often going through a slew of transitions.

Although they aren’t as common as they used to be, women’s colleges foster a safe, supportive environment for female-identifying dancers to flourish in.

Most ranking systems are focused on academics; they aren’t designed to reflect the quality of artistic education. So do dance program rankings matter at all? 

Rather than abandoning the arts, college dancers are discovering ways to marry their schoolwork with activism.

Making the most of visits from guest artists at your university can mold you into a more versatile dancer—and maybe even pave the way to a professional gig.

Because of the strenuous time demands required, dance majors sometimes assume it’s impossible to be part of the dance team on top of their already-heavy course load. But with the right tools and mindset, joining the team might be just the extracurricular you need to level up in the studio and on the stage.
