  • What is up artists and movers :) I get so many questions about college, BFAs, and going to college for dance so I figured it was time to make a video sharing why I chose to go to college for dance and if I think it’s necessary. Overall I am 100% happy that I made the decision to go to college for dance but I don’t think it’s the best decision for everyone. I definitely think it’s a decision you shouldn’t take lightly and I hope this video helps you feel a little more informed on the specific reasons why it was the right choice for me.
    College I Attended: Jacksonville University College of Fine Arts

    ↓ WHO IS GAYLYN LAREESE ↓
    Hey there! My name is Gaylyn Lareese, and I am dancer living in Los Angeles. For as long as I can remember, dance has been a part of my life and has truly shaped my personality, my opinions and my life goals. I believe dancers are more than pretty performers on a stage or in a video. True dancers know that dance is how we learn and move through life. It’s the way we’ve chosen to grow to be the people we are meant to be. This is why I call us artists and movers! On my channel I make content for every aspect of dance life including dance tips, dance discussions, and dance entrepreneurship. Join me as I take my love for dance to the next level and hopefully encourage you to do the same 💙

    Could you make one vídeo speaking about dance in LA for international students? (I'm sorry for my english)

      Hey love (your English is perfectly fine btw😊). I’m not an international student so I don’t know how any of that works. I can only speak on my experiences here.

    Hello! I love all your videos, I've been arguing with my parents over college or no college for the past year, so this video really helped me! I'm curious about the process of becoming a backup dancer, what tools/experience/etc. that would be required to pursue a career in backup dancing/performing, if you have any knowledge or advice on the subject I would really appreciate your help. Thank you and much love!

    Maybe a video on how to start taking steps to your future now before your out of high school, or could you recommend doing anything now for dancers like me who want to start taking action to either educate themselves or like what to do to prepare!?!

    And literally it’s crazy my school only talked about concert dance and I knew even in high school I didn’t wanna be a concert dancer or join a company. Instagram is how I learned about the commercial dance industry and that’s so sad

    This helped me a lot, everyone that are friends of mine and dancers kinda guilted me that I dont need the help of college dance. But growing up I never had the opportunity to dance with anyone but myself because I live in such a small town. Are there any specific scholarships that are for dance or can any school be applied? I hope that made sense 😅

    I majored in psych and minored in dance!

      That’s what I had planned on but I discovered occupational therapy! I’m almost done with an associates for Occ.Ther. Assistant. I need a bachelors to get the OT Masters eventually. I will prob do the Psych major but dream of a studio for special needs. There are adapted dance programs and Dance for Parkinson’s that go perfectly with occupational therapy. I also help coach the High school team on occasion when I can. Dance is my passion. Not sure how I will keep it in my life! I’d love to do the dance major but not sure if that would be practical.

  • @RachaelA1978

    Have you ever heard of a dance studio that does adaptive dance, dance for Parkinson’s, or trauma therapy? This is something I’m interested in and would love your thoughts. I’m finishing COTA school in the fall and will need to decide a major for my bachelors degree. Psych, Health studies management & marketing, and dance are my options. Allertra@Warhawks.ULM.edu I LOVE what you said about dancer autonomy. That really spoke to me.
