Wright What?

          I auditioned for dance and applied to a total of 9 schools. I got in to everyone dance program except Julliard and got into every school except Fordham University, which is the college for Ailey B.F.A. program. Wright State was just one of those schools that you could call a "back up." My decision came down to Point Park University and Wright State University. Point Park has an amazing dance program in Pittsburgh, PA. Little did I know Wright State has an amazing one too.
         Anyways, The thing that interested me most is that I could be in a second company while earning my B.F.A. I sent in my audition tape to the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company and made the cut. I was still really in between. Point Park is really expensive, but I had spent 6 weeks last summer there so I know that I liked the teachers and I know that I would get what I needed. Also PA is pretty close to New York so I could go there on vacation. On the other hand Wright State was completely affordable and I observed a couple classes and I was impressed with the teachers, but I just didn't really know anything about it, I had no idea what the mascot was until I went into the bookstore for the first time at orientation.
            It was like a sign sent from God. I was at a dance competition in Wisconsin at the Kalahari and the judges there were from the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company. Marlayna and Lemoi were two of the judges and they did a performance at the end of the competition for us. They were amazing, I thought to myself "I would love to be able to dance like them." So, right then and there I decided that I would go to Wright State University. I am very happy with my decision because the dance program and the people are so amazing.
