Daily Record: Dance student follows dream to CCM

“The Dance Department at CCM is a professionally oriented dance program offering a bachelor of fine arts (BFA) degree with an emphasis in ballet training,” writes the Daily Record. “Through a rigorous academic and studio curriculum, dancers receive advanced training while cultivating their artistry and stimulating creativity.”

During the summer months, Alexander has trained at Cleveland’s ArtEmotion, the Cincinnati Ballet and the Holmes Center for the Arts. This summer she is participating in a four-week summer program at Ballet Met in Columbus.

Alexander told the newspaper that ever since she first visited UC, she knew she wanted to follow her dream at CCM. CCM Dance was recognized as one of the “three top programs to consider” by Dance Magazine. Key elements of the CCM Dance program include:

• Opportunities to dance and audition with professional companies while students earn their BFA degrees
• Highly-recognized faculty, guest choreographers and artists-in-residence
• One of the few programs in the country to require a year of somatic studies (Alexander Technique, Pilates, Yoga)
• Seasonal and internship opportunities with professional dance companies while enrolled as a full-time student
• On-site physical therapists and athletic trainers
• Three large dance studios with observation booth, therapy and dressing rooms
