But when Harvard offered Hall deferred admission to the Class of 2002, it was skating that filled her year.
"I met this lady at the rink who offered to work as my agent to look into finding a job with a show."
Soon after, Hall says Disney offered her a job touring with a company in South America.
She took it.
"I thought, 'When's the next time I'm going to be able to go to South America?'" she remembers.
But the opportunity did present its difficulties.
"The first place I went was Sao Paulo, Brazil and that was major culture shock. The first day I had to order food, and I didn't know any Portugese or even Spanish," Hall says. "People would teach me the words, but at first it was so hard just to say them. I was really timid--it was hard."
Things quickly improved, she says. Hall learned her numbers and was performing within a few days. She says she got to know the other members of the tour, even though they were all significantly older than she was.
