Finally someone who I can relate to! Now I feel much better choosing dance as my major.

[@payalparida311]

I absolutely loved this! I'm currently a sophomore at the University of Michigan as a dance major and entrepreneurship minor. Thank you for this, truly appreciate it :)

[@GaylynLareese]

So glad you enjoyed it! Best of luck in your studies🤗💙

[@stellaresnick7508]

hey!! I'm currently a junior in high school looking into majoring in dance at michigan. Do you have any tips for auditioning/what is the program like?

[@richelleforcer3170]

This was definitely confirmation for me!!! God is amazing and sends beautiful angels such as yourself to deliver messages to His/Her people in the way that only we can comprehend. You did that for me. Thank you so much.

Very useful! I just finished a diploma in Graphic design but am contemplating on whether I would want to continue with studying in dance (as I have been dancing since 2017) this video is very insightful and helpful for me to be realistic about it. Subscribed, and loving the dance content!

I’m gonna major in dance education with a minor in psychology

[@GaylynLareese]

Oh sweet! I majored in dance performance and minored in psych 😊

[@UniqueDancerTay]

So similar to what I studied in dance too Jade. I did dance education but psychology was too much for me lol I did sociology I my final year 💯💯

[@jadestone202]

@@UniqueDancerTay yes!!!!! As you should!!!!!!!!

[@fernandamorante6349]

thats great!!! where do you plan to study? i really want to major in dance ed too but idk where

[@khimonet5927]

I’m in the same boat right now and I wanted to switch to majoring in psychology because I didn’t know if there will be any jobs I can get with a minor in psych. I want to do child counseling

[@savannahjadedobbs]

Hi, Gaylyn! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us... I took dance classes when I was a kid, but unfortunately life got on the way, and I had to stop dancing in order to be self-reliant. I’m 30 now, but I’ve always dreamed of getting a BFA in Dance. I’d be literally starting from scratch, and it’d take me a while to get back on track since my body is not as responsive as it once was. Even though I’m a guy, I’ve always dreamed of going en pointe, and my desire has become stronger and stronger. I binge watch The Pointe Shop on KZbin... and hopefully one day I’ll be fitted for my own pointe shoes. Do you think it’s too late to start now? No need to sugar coat. Wish you a lot of success. :)

[@funnystuffproductionsnewof511]

Follow your dreams, especially if you know you can impact lives!

[@5683brit]

Hey I’m 31 wanting to do the same. Took classes but basically starting from scratch. Let’s do this together. Enrolling back in school for dance this year. It’s now or never

[@BriamilanTV]

@@5683brit same boat!! Late comment but we got this!! It’s the year of dancers in our 30s 💃🏾

[@julied8646]

I’m a sophomore at psu, I’m studying human development and family studies. But ever since last semester I’ve been really contemplating transferring and studying dance. I don’t think I ever realized how much I loved dance until I went to college. Only thing is my parents really want me to stick out my major

[@silvia-le8]

I’m going through the same thing! Being in college made me realize how much I love dance and how much I would love to pursue a career in dance but I don’t know where to start. I say you should definitely go for it!!

[@kemi3543]

Also a psu student here in Integrative Arts( dance studies) and minoring in entrepreneurship.

@@silvia-le8 did you do it? If so how is it?

[@silvia-le8]

@@lukey-vl2ri sadly I didn’t do it and honestly I’m still struggling to figure out what to do lol it’s all just really crazy. Are you debating in going into dance?

[@lukey-vl2ri]

@@silvia-le8 i picked dance as my major but one thing is I have no expirience in dance but dance has always been my dream so idk if it was a mistake and if I should’ve just chosen dance as a minor instead

I am not a Dance major, but I found this video very interesting!! Just subscribed!

[@Marie-hz8ce]

First I want to thank you so much for your insights. I am a parent of a dancer who is looking for college with a dance program and struggling to decide if it’s worth it or not to major in dance and worried if she is she going to make a living. Especially now (check college prices this year ⬆️⬆️⬆️) . As parents we also struggle between encouraging her to do what she loves the most and how is she going to be able to live from her passion. I always knew that business and marketing should be part of college in that field too but it is so good to hear it from you directly ➡️ young dancers). I am going to look in your videos if there is something on what dance program to choose when you don’t have 40-60k/yr to go to conservatories and private schools (and probably won’t qualify for financial aids). If someone like you could sort it out for us with college names / programs and tuitions, we, parents, would be eternally grateful 🙏😃

[@GaylynLareese]

I actually was planning on doing a video on how to pick the right college dance program for you. I’m not as familiar with specific programs now that I’m far out of college but I can give my general insight on how I picked mine and maybe things that I would’ve done differently. I’m glad this video was helpful. I’ll get on that!

[@jlkstudio3819]

From where did you do your dance major ? I mean the dance college and university and country I'm hoping it'll help a lot of peoples like me

[@GaylynLareese]

Jacksonville University

[@Anonymous-sm9ld]

Hi, i need your opinion since you are more experienced than me, should I take a minor if I take dance major? And I'm wondering is having dance as a job is stable enough? Thanks

[@GaylynLareese]

It depends on if you think you’ll be able to manage the workload. If so, I say go for it!

[@rileyg5856]

Hello Gaylyn i am a senior in high school and struggling what to do. i do not want to be a dance major (thinking of cybersecurity) but want to take dance in college. what college would you recommend for a minor in dance or just taking dance as an extracurricular? thank you :)

[@GaylynLareese]

It depends on which classes your college offers. When you go you can ask them for a list of dance classes that are offered and pick from there. I would just stay away from a ballet class if you are only looking to commit a little bit of time.

[@iyararuiz8573]

Can I still be a dance major if I don’t have any studio experience

[@Coraltortolo]

thanks for this video! I really want the BFA and also a minor in psychology or business, it surprised me you had a minor in psychology?how was balancing that? I am a senior in high school

[@GaylynLareese]

It actually wasn’t that hard at all. Double majoring is pretty difficult but fitting a minor in can be done pretty easily as long as you stay on top of your course load selections each semester 😉

[@Coraltortolo]

@@GaylynLareese thanks for replying!!! Do you have any good BFA colleges apart from the one you went to?
