Question:

Foreign exchange and ballet?

Hey, guys! I have a few questions involving Germany, foreign exchange students, and ballet.

So, I am very serious about ballet. I would like to be a foreign exchange student in Germany, and of course this would likely mean giving up ballet for however long I am there (a year to a few months). I would really like to find a way to stay with ballet and still study in Germany. So, I have a few ideas, and I need to know what you guys think.

1. Find a ballet school in Germany and go there. If this is possible, I will need to find somewhere near to study academically, and somewhere to live. It really also needs to be as inexpensive as possible, although I do understand that it will be very expensive.

2. s***w ballet, go to Germany! The experience is worth it! This is not what I would say and is not what I think, but it is still a possibility that someone would answer this, so I must put it here. What do you think?

3. Do a foreign exchange programme and try to find some way to do ballet on your own.

4. Do a foreign exchange programme and try to also go to a ballet school near where you are staying - I don't think I can do this, it will be far to expensive for us to do.

Also, do you have any experiences to share? Do you know any Vaganova ballet schools in Germany? Do you know how much an average foreign exchange programme costs? Can you tell me how this might work? Any advice? Do you know the average day of a foreign exchange student?

  1. If you intend to become a professional ballerina, I would say choice #1.  

    If you DON'T intend to become a professional ballerina, I would say choice #3, and be very disciplined about it.  

    Here's a program I found, for high school students.

    According to the site, there's a $650 "enrollment" fee, and further fees can only be obtained by requesting information.
