I am 17 years old and this September I need to apply to universities for courses. The problem is, I don't know what I want to choose! I have 3 main options that I'm considering:
Going to the RAD to do their BA (Hons) in Ballet Education
Doing a Dance and English Literature joint honours course at a university
Doing an English Literature degree and then doing the Certificate in Ballet Teaching Studies at the RAD.
I want to eventually be a ballet/dance teacher, however my parents would prefer it if I had a 'proper' degree to fall back on if anything happens (e.g. I get injured or can't find a full time job in ballet), so they think I should do a degree in English or at least the joint honours.
Would anyone be able to give me some advice as to which is best? I love both English and Dance but I ultimately don't want to make a wrong decision, be unhappy or not be able to support myself in the future. Thank you!
