The Music and Ballet School of Baghdad
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Two ballet dancers of the Iraqi National Ballet (which is based in Baghdad) performing a ballet show in Iraq in 2007.
The Music and Ballet School of Baghdad (Arabic,مدرسة بغداد للموسيقى و الباليه) was founded in Baghdad, Iraq in 1967. It was initially opened as part of Saddam Hussein's secularist cultural campaign.[1]
Teachers from the Bolshoi Theater in Russia came to Baghdad to teach.[citation needed] At present[when?] the teaching staff are fully Iraqi.[citation needed]
In March 2016, the Associated Press reported that the school was facing financial difficulties owing to the government's budgetary crisis.[2] According to the report, the Ministry of Culture had ordered the school to begin charging tuition.
