Information via Telephone and Mail

We are here to answer your questions about a career re-orientation. We give you tips and support for your first steps, and we offer information about funding and grant possibilities. The counseling is confidential.

Individual support

We offer you personal counseling to talk about developing a career perspective for the future. Dr. Carolin Eckert, Diplom-psychologist, is available for individual coaching. She accompanies the respective dancer’s individual transition process in discussions. This involves clarifying the existing emotional situation as well as personal interests, competencies and goals. A strengths/weaknesses analysis can be made. Together a concrete time and budget plan is created for a career re-orientation. The counseling is confidential. Please book an appointment or a skype-meeting via e-mail.
