Think you know what it takes to get into a college dance program?
Spoiler: it’s WAY more than just nailing the combo. 👀
In this episode of Rhinestones & Rants, we sit down with Joe Alter of San Diego State University (SDSU), a dance educator, mentor, and admissions insider who has seen it ALL. From essays and interviews to audition photos and solos, Joe is pulling back the curtain on what really goes down behind the table.
✨ What you’ll learn:
• The real difference between a BA and BFA (and why it matters)
