Enquiries about my dance career?
Okay heres some information
I am 15 and im year 10, practically year 11
After auditioning, I got into a perfoming arts school in birmingham called BOA
I am doing btec dance
They rejected 900 applications and accepted 150
I have been dance since I was 10
The thing is I dont think I'll make it as a dancer because im not flexible enough and since I havent been dancing since a young age im not as familiar with my body as some others are.
(Im planning on improving my flexibility all summer (I can do right splits and a scorpion thats it))
Do you know any dance colleges/uni that would suit me?
I like contemporary and urban styles and jazz but ive never had enough experience with ballet (1 and year a half of it only)
I just really need advice on how to improve myself in dance and alternatives, im so lost please help

Few who study dance become performers but there are dance related careers.
Read the information provided by Youth Dance England.
Fiddlesticks. Their website is being revamped and isn't working but they do have a good careers leaflet that shows related careers. http://www.yde.org.uk/
The course you are taking is this one I assume
http://www.boa-academy.co.uk/post-16.php?p=109
"Students’ experiences at BOA will enable progress to vocational dance training or Degree Courses in Dance, Community Dance, Dance Therapy, or Dance Science. The dance course at BOA enables students to work in areas such as arts administration and management, performance, choreography, community and education"
Have a look at the training you want to do post 18 and see if they will accept BTEC. The Guardian has a good list of unis doing dance, with links so you can the type of dance and entry requirements.

There is a very highly subscribed course at East London doing urban dance
http://www.uel.ac.uk/undergraduate/specs/danceurba...
Very low on the Guardian league table though.
I have seen at least one other but I can't find it at the moment.
