For several decades, the Ballet Academy of the Munich University of Music and Theatre has been a nationally and internationally renowned training centre for young dancers.

The training of future professional dancers at the highest level is only possible with the help of friends, sponsors and patrons.

The »Gesellschaft Freunde der Hochschule für Musik und Theater München e. V.« has therefore founded the »Förderkreis Ballett-Akademie«. The aim is to support dance events, projects and particularly talented students and to improve the conditions of study.
