Do you regret your degree? It’s a question I’ve been asked many times.
I spent 3 years and tens of thousands of pounds on a Professional Dance degree and since graduating have worked in an SU and a university – now love working in higher education.
Some might see this as a waste of time and money – but I respectfully disagree.
Following One Dance UK’s worrying report on the state of dance education in HE – and at a time when many feel as though arts and humanities are under attack with an increasingly metrics driven approach – it’s vitally important that we advocate for the value of dance and creative arts degrees outside of linear career pathways.
