There are many places to study in Miami. Florida International University offers undergraduate instruction in music, dance and theatre; Miami University has undergraduate music, theatre and musical theatre degrees, and
Barry University offers undergraduate courses in music and theatre. Those performing artists wishing to study past the undergraduate level may like to audition for the Lyric Opera or New World Symphony apprentice programs.
The Labor Market Index projects an astounding 38 new jobs per year in the performing arts sector through to 2012. The Florida Labor Board lumps performing artists in with spectator sports so a few grains of salt are necessary when reading the statistics. It is far more likely that there will be new positions opening up in the Cuban music scene rather than the ballet. Even more likely is that spectator sport positions will become available before ones in the performing arts. The overall anticipated growth is 0.64%, which is roughly half of the average for all Miami-Dade jobs.
