"Dancing Through College and Beyond" is for students, parents and teachers to explore dance opportunities beyond high school. It is presented by Career Transition For Dancers, Dancewave, Dance/NYC and Pentacle with space generously provided by the Marymount Manhattan College.
This event is a full day of networking, information and panels to help high school students, teachers, and parents of students navigate dancing in college from applications, financial aid, through graduation. Free for all participants, the panels will bring together numerous college admissions representatives, college professors, career counselors, alumni and even parents of dance program alums to give you their expert advice on how to get into the program that's right for you; make the most of all that the school has to offer and prepare for a successful career post-graduation. This is one-stop shopping to meet many representatives from top dance programs in and around New York City and the country.
