Career Ready

The Hartt dance division was incredibly supportive of my career path. Although I was a minor amongst dance majors, the faculty did not neglect me and allowed me to be a full-time member of their department while contributing to my personal interests. The Dance Division helped me turn my investment of time, effort, and hard work into a lasting and quantifiable career.
