All freelance and employed stage dancers are welcome (as are the participants of the “Developing Visions” workshop).

Decreasing housing costs
Wohngeld is state support as a subsidy to monthly housing costs; you can apply for these funds at the Wohngeldstelle in your place of residence. Careful: not only renters are qualified to receive the subsidy; owners can also receive it if they qualify. Three criteria are decisive:
1. How many people live in the household?
2. How high is the household’s monthly gross income?
3. How high is the monthly financial burden due to rent or ownership?
This means that Wohngeld is an individually calculated housing subsidy that varies according to location (e.g., Munich or Berlin). You receive Wohngeld for 12 months from the month in which the application is turned in. Conscripts, people who receive ALGII benefits and students who receive BaFöG are not entitled to Wohngeld.
For a single person with an income of € 800,00 € and a basic rent of € 375,00, the subsidy would be € 76,00. You can find details about this calculation at the following link of the Bundesministeriums für Verkehr und digitale Infrastruktur:
Workplace: schools
Teachers are now being sought in a number of federal states; in Berlin up to 2,000 for the 2014/15 school year. These so-called weak subjects in the secondary level I and II (the subjects with the most required teachers) include sport; at the career schools for social careers: teaching and psychology. The prerequisite to become a teacher in, for example, Berlin and Brandenburg, is no longer a state examination for teaching. It is written in the current Berlin senate regulations for hiring at schools that so-called lateral entry employees, i.e. interested parties with a Diplom, Magister or MA from a technical college or university (a requirement is an appropriately in-depth study program of at least 20 semester hours or 30 ECTS), can be eligible to teach in at least one subject. If a second subject can be approved, then this can be learned in a study program in evening classes. Preparatory studies parallel to a career take 18 months in Berlin, are completed in part-time study (in Berlin usually 19 teaching hours per week and additional teaching seminar) and end with the II state examination. Your efforts are then rewarded by a recognized teaching license for schools throughout the country and German schools in foreign countries for the secondary level I and II, an unlimited employment (or even tenure depending on the federal state) and a secure income in accordance with TVÖD 12 bzw. 13. Since employing teachers is regulated by the federal states, you should inform yourself at the respective ministries for education.
