Student review [#70663] for Dance
at Point Park University

As a Dance Major, I have benefited greatly from the program. We get professional experiences from the residencies that are commissioned and from the quality faculty. However, there are some factors that I feel are neglected. For instance, the experiences of the POC on campus, the lack of diversity, community within the classroom, and something dance specific is the rigor that the student must go through to maintain their scholarship. Sometimes, with respect to the COPA department, it’s almost like the students don’t get the time to enjoy everything college has to offer. This can sometimes lead to burnout, physically and emotionally. Dance is an incredibly demanding sport, and it needs balance to maintain the body as well as one’s self.
