“The dance program at UL Lafayette showed me there are a million opportunities for work in the field of dance outside of the realm of performance, including teaching, choreographing, arts administration, dance history, lighting, and costuming.

“I’m learning a lot. I already feel like I’m more comfortable in the classroom, and I’m finding my teaching style. I’m very happy that I get full-year �����Ƶ-teaching experience — you get to know the �����Ƶs better, and now they know me, they trust me. They understand that I’m also learning, and they want to help me run the class as best I can.”

“There are so many youthful and energetic people who want to work and make a difference, and that truly inspires me.

It all comes together in this wonderful place.”
