Bay Teen Headed to Prestigious Germany Ballet School

Whitefish Bay’s Jennifer Hackbarth will train at a prestigious Germany ballet school after competing her way to a scholarship, TMJ4 reports.

The 14-year-old Milwaukee Ballet School & Academy student earned the trip to the Stuttgart Ballet School after competing in the Youth America Grand Prix contest — the world’s largest ballet competition that matched thousands of other young performers against Hackbarth. 

She was among the top 12 junior women performers, according to the organization’s website.

Hackbarth told TMJ4 she has been dancing for 10 years, and is home-schooled, allowing her to spend more time training.
