“Ohio University prepares its students for multiple possibilities once you graduate. There is an emphasis on choreography, for instance, that may open up opportunities that a performance based school wouldn’t offer.

“Here you will be put to the test. But prior to the task you’re equipped with the knowledge from our professors. I will leave knowing myself through my art—my own way of moving—and I don’t think I would have found that anywhere else.”
