Inside USC Kaufman & What Makes This Dance Program Stand Out

Jackie Kopcsak, a founding faculty member and Associate Professor of Practice at USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance, joins us to unpack what makes USC's program unique—from its one-of-a-kind curriculum and career planning resources to how students balance ballet, choreography, and cross-disciplinary training. We discuss what the school looks for in applicants, how students launch into professional dance and arts careers, and why USC's location in Los Angeles opens doors for both training and jobs. Plus, listener questions about applying, balancing multiple interests like musical theater, and whether Kaufman is the right fit for ballet-focused dancers.
