Do I have a chance of making a college dance team?

okay. so for about 9 years, I took lessons from a bad dance studio, where the teacher didn't focus on technique and was more focused on paperwork and calling potential students than on my class. At that point I was taking 3 hours of classes a week. I was taking ballet, tap, jazz, and pointe. At this studio, I was in the most advanced classes.

About 6 months ago, I became fed up with this teacher and started at a new studio. I enjoy myself much more at this studio and feel myself improving! But right now, I am only taking 2 ballet classes, a tap class, and the company there. This is 5 hours a week.

For ballet, there is 5 levels, and I am in level 3, year 2, but I have a feeling I'll be in Ballet 4 by January. For tap, there is 4 levels and I'm in level 3 as well. I believe I'll be in Tap 4 by January as well. I am in the senior company because of my age. Also, I would like to take jazz, but times for the classes conflict so my mom said if I was in Ballet 4, I could start jazz classes again. As for pointe, haha yeah right, I should never have been on pointe. I'm surprised I didn't shatter my ankles.

Lastly, there is a dance team at my school. I went to the clinic last year, but I strained a muscle in my thigh, so i was not able to try out. Afterwords, I was told by a friend that the captain was impressed with me and said that I would have made the team. So I plan on trying out again this year.

So after reading all of that, my question is there a chance that I could make a college dance team? I am serious about dance and after this school year, I can apply for scholarship by helping to teach lessons to younger students, so I can take more classes. I believe by even doing this I can improve a little in technique, especially by listening, because I may be learning technique I should have learned when I was younger

By the way, I am a sophomore in high school, so I have about 2 and a half more years of just preparing for college.

    It's possible, I would work hard and get it a try. Maybe try for you high school team first to see how you stand up against the competetion. You have to remember these girls have been dancing as long as or longer than you.
