Becoming a host family is a chance to change the course of a young dancer’s life—and to enrich your own family in ways you may not expect.
Many talented ballet students must leave home to pursue serious training. By opening your home, you provide more than a bed and meals—you offer stability, encouragement, and a sense of belonging during one of the most formative times in their lives. For these students, knowing they are supported outside the studio allows them to fully focus, grow, and thrive in their training.
Host families often tell us the experience brings new perspectives, lifelong relationships, and a deep sense of pride in watching a young artist chase their dream. You become part of their journey—their successes feel shared, and their growth becomes something your family gets to witness firsthand.
You don’t need to be a dancer or expert in ballet. You simply need to be a steady, caring presence. In return, families gain cultural exchange, meaningful connection, and the quiet reward of knowing they played a role in shaping not just a dancer, but a confident, resilient young person.
Host families receive a monthly stipend to help cover expenses.
Hosting isn’t just support—it’s impact.
