Alumni in Dance

According to one noted cultural observer, dance promotes "control and expressiveness in the physical realm"—valuable skills in any number of career paths well beyond those traditionally associated with the performing arts.

Many dance students also have interests in theatre; those seeking professional careers in theatre often continue their studies in graduate school or conservatories, and many have successful careers in design, acting and directing, and management. Some examples are:
