Financial support

ODN supports dancers through career counselling and financial support to help them shape a new career path after the last bow.

Criteria for financial support

Dancers who have paid at least 48 premiums can apply for a Contribution towards Study Costs
Dancers who have paid at least 96 premiums within at least ten years are eligible for a Study and Income Allowance when they stop dancing
In both cases a solid study plan must be presented

Refund of study costs

This option is for dancers who want to pick up a course or study during their dancing career. It’s a refund for a maximum period of four years.

Study costs include course or tuition fees, registration fees, books, materials, and travel expenses. Costs of living are not part of this contribution.

Study and income allowance

This is for dancers who are putting a stop to their dancing career. It comprises a refund of study costs and, if necessary, a contribution to costs of living. Sometimes it is possible to receive financial support when setting up a business.

The amount of the study and income allowance depends on what a dancer needs to fulfil his or her plans and the total number of premiums that have been paid during the dancing career. It’s an allowance for a maximum period of four years.
