In the meantime here is some quick insights about this State University of New York at Purchase Dance Program from their website.
The Conservatory of Dance at Purchase College offers a BFA program that prepares students for careers in the professional dance world. Purchase alumni perform with many of the foremost contemporary modern and ballet dance companies in the world. They also teach, direct, dance choreograph major productions, and have founded their own companies all around the globe. The program offers professional training for serious and dedicated dance students, with daily classes in classical ballet and contemporary modern dance. These are followed by modern and/or ballet partnering, pointe/variations (optional), men’s classes, modern repertory workshops, improvisation, somatics and rehearsals for performances. The program emphasizes both performance and choreography and assures an artistic foundation through the four-year composition program and studies of music for dance, dance history, dance production, anatomy for dance, and core curriculum courses. Performance is an integral and required part of the professional training program. The Purchase Dance Company (selected students in the Conservatory of Dance) performs major concerts in the Performing Arts Center; student and faculty concerts in the Dance Theatre Lab; lecture demonstrations; and tours in New York City, New York State, and abroad.
