What's up! I've been dancing for most of my life and I want to keep that going in college. I'm also super interested in the environment at HBCUs. Does anyone know about HBCUs that have dance programs? Looking for information on the intensity of training, types of dance covered, performance opportunities, and faculty credentials. Thanks in advance for any insights!
Hey there! That's so cool that you're combining your passion for dance with an interest in the unique culture at HBCUs. My niece actually looked into this a while back. She found that Howard University has a strong dance program where students can concentrate in Ballet, Modern, African, or Jazz dance styles. They also have opportunities for performance through their dance ensemble. Additionally, Spelman College has a dynamic dance program. From what I understand, the faculty come with impressive credentials, and there are regular performances and showcases for students. Another option to explore could be Hampton University; they offer a range of dance courses and encourage student performances.
Each of these programs has its own vibe and emphasis, so I'd suggest reaching out directly to their dance departments to get a clearer picture of the intensity and style of training that would best fit what you're looking for. Good luck on your search – keep grooving to your dreams!
