“I know there are so many different things in dance that I could try to do: I could take up ballroom, salsa, teach at a high school in Japan. There’s so much variety in dance, and most people don’t really know that. But when you’re in college, they open those doors for you.”
“The dance program at UL Lafayette showed me there are a million opportunities for work in the field of dance outside of the realm of performance, including teaching, choreographing, arts administration, dance history, lighting, and costuming. UL Lafayette showed me how to find these opportunities, network, and market myself as a working professional in the field of dance no matter which avenue I decide on.”
