Can you kind of take us through a typical day of a student who would be a, a BFA major?
14:35
Right.
14:36
So in the first two years in our program, they, they're required to study ballet, modern, and jazz, and we've actually just added a requirement to take an Afro modern class as well because we find that, that they need that diversification of movement for the field now.
14:51
You know, every company is dancing, you know, works across the board that are, you know, a blend of ballet, modern, contemporary, African-based movement.
15:01
The, you know, all of those things are now coming into every company.
15:04
So we, we felt that that was something that they needed to, to have as part of their process.
15:11
So but in the f- So they do that in the first two years.

So when people are really trying to weigh the difference, what are you seeing with your students as, or your, uh, your prospective students as they're talking to you about this? Are they weighing a traineeship versus coming to your school? And how, how do you have that conversation with them about the benefits of going to college versus the benefits of doing a trainee program?

At least living here for over a year now, yeah.

So, like, when he first got out, you know, I'll say when he's, like, still in the halfway house, you know, he was like the uncle that comes over sometimes.
33:26
You know, comes over for every family out, and that's how it kind of was.
33:30
But then when he actually got out, he started living with us, you know.
33:34
It felt weird because it was like, you know, this dude's been gone my whole life, you know, and then he comes in the house and then he's acting like my dad.
33:44
It sounds funny, but like from how it was on the jail calls to here is it's a night and day difference.
33:52
Like on the calls, I'll talk to him like he's my best friend.
38:40
We really want to hear that.
