Help Launch My Ballet Career in Europe -

Hi, I'm Gracie Clark — a 19-year-old ballet dancer currently completing my Graduate Year at The Australian Ballet School, Australia’s national centre for elite classical ballet training.

In 2026, I’ll be embarking on an audition tour across Europe to pursue my dream of joining a professional ballet company. Many European companies require dancers to audition in person, which means traveling across multiple cities over several months. This journey is essential to launching my career, but it comes with significant costs — including flights, accommodation, and local travel.

My Journey So Far -

Before joining The Australian Ballet School, I trained at Glen Iris School of Dance and successfully auditioned into the full-time program, where I’ve spent the past four years immersed in intensive training — six days a week of classes, rehearsals, and performance preparation.

Qualifications:

• Graduate Diploma of Classical Ballet (expected Dec 2025)

• Advanced Diploma of Dance (Elite Performance), 2024

• Diploma of Dance (Elite Performance, Classical), 2022–2023

• Student Brand Ambassador for Bloch Australia (global dancewear brand)

My Goal -

To secure a full-time contract with a European ballet company and build a sustainable, long-term career as a professional ballet dancer.

I’ve been working towards this my whole life - through discipline, resilience, and passion. This audition tour is the next critical step, and your support can help make it possible.

My financial goal is to raise $5,000. Whether you contribute financially or simply share this page, I’m very grateful for your support. Thank you for believing in me and helping me take this leap toward my future.

Thank you,

Gracie
