Waldorf Ballet Foundation Sponsorship Levels

The Waldorf Ballet Foundation is dedicated to fostering a nurturing and professional environment tailored specifically for the pursuit of classical ballet. Through your sponsorship, you play a crucial role in supporting families with enrollment and registration fees and providing merit-based scholarships to aspiring professional ballerinas. These scholarships cover diverse needs such as higher education in esteemed ballet academies, summer intensives, travel expenses, costumes, and ballet essentials like pointe shoes. Your generosity helps maintain the elegance and rigorous discipline of classical ballet while broadening opportunities for young talent to flourish at a professional level.

Examples of costs of training for a higher level of ballet include:

National or International Academy Tuition: $30,000 - $60,000 for full season comprehensive ballet training

Residence Fees: Often in addition to tuition, covering meals and housing necessities

Summer Intensive Tuition: $8,000 - $10,000

Air Travel: $500 - $1,500

Costumes: $300 - $1,000 per costume

Pointe Shoes: $150 per pair, with a need for about 3 pairs per month, totalling around $5,400 annually
