Ballet Training at Kirov Academy

My name is Alex. I have been dancing for seven years now, starting when I was nine. Ballet has become my passion and my dream is to become a professional ballet dancer in a company. This year I was accepted into the full year training program at the Kirov Academy in Washington DC with a 100% artistic scholarship! My remaining challenge is that there is a fee of $40,000 CAD for the academic program, residence (room and board) and foreign student papers. Going to this school provides me with the opportunity to get a high quality professional ballet education in order to launch into a professional career. I wish to perform on the stage, interacting with broad groups of people, and bring stories and artistry into people’s lives. One day I would like to give back through teaching and hopefully putting a brand new ballet onto the stage. Your help is greatly appreciated!
