Why KU?

Whether you major in Dance (see KU Dance Department, and the Midwest Exchange Scholarship for out-of-state dance majors) or something else, getting a good education is really the most important part of college. KU is consistently rated as one of the strongest academic institutions in the midwest and in the upper tier of public universities in the country, all at a very reasonable price. For full info about KU's academics, campus, and student life, see the Admissions site.

Aside from that, come to KU for the dance team! There are not better venues to dance in than Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium. You'll make lifelong friends and be able to be part of a great team environment. You'll be able to dance in front of thousands and be the KU athletics liaisons. KU has a rich dance tradition with wins at NDA Nationals in 1993 and 1996.

To sum it all up, you can't go wrong dancing at KU. We've got big-time athletics, strong academics, a fun-filled city, and competitive UDA nationals. So when you're making your college choice, remember to consider the big picture — think about the lifelong value of a great education and the unforgettable memories of dancing on college sports' biggest stage!
