In the meantime here is some quick insights about this California Institute of the Arts Dance Program from their website.
The programs of The Sharon Disney Lund School of Dance at California Institute of the Arts give equal importance to technical excellence, choreographic creativity, artistic production and intellectual understanding. These four branches of study meet to create a deep mastery of the elements of dance as a fine art within the context of contemporary society. All faculty members are renowned professionals actively working in the field of dance. Their real-world experience gives students a realistic perspective on the artistic and professional challenges of careers in dance. Students benefit from a strong one-to-one relationship with an individual faculty member who serves as an artistic and academic advisor, mentoring the student in his or her progress for the duration of the program. The school performs 8-10 productions a year including the Open House Dance Concert, the BFA II Solo Dance Concert, the Winter Dance Concert, the Student Choice Concert, the MFA Thesis concerts, the Spring Dance Concert, Next Dance Concert, and Last Dance Concert. This rigorous schedule provides students with real-life performance experience at each stage of his/her development, and prepares students for the demands of professional dance productions. Over the course of the four year undergraduate program, students gain repertory experience with faculty, professional guest artists and fellow students.
