Each year, the Dansersfonds (Solid Ground vzw) awards a scholarship to a promising dancer from our own country.
In this way, we aim to provide financial support to emerging talent at the beginning and development of their career.
We are thrilled to announce that the winner of our 2nd Time To Dance scholarship is Marius Bado Rock.

“That I am the first to receive this scholarship surprises me.”
“I look up to Wim a lot, and I am proud that he wants to give me this opportunity and believes in me.
Such a scholarship really helps young dancers. In Belgium, it is often difficult for young dancers to start their careers.
This scholarship helps me finance auditions and makes the search for the right ballet company possible.”
