Passing The Barre

You think it’s tough to get into a top medical school or law school? Try the UA School of Dance. Among 400 dance students competing for admission in this fall, only 35 will be accepted. The School of Dance has built a reputation as one of the nation’s top university dance programs for young dancers who want to excel in ballet, modern and jazz. Graduates perform with world-class companies – American Ballet Theatre, Cirque de Soleil, Riverdance and Hubbard Street. Auditioning students must place in advanced/intermediate levels in all three dance styles to pass the barre for UA School of Dance.
