    K,
    Radetsky is going to be busy as one of the eight new “fellows” at the NYU Center for Ballet and the Arts which is directed by Jennifer Homans. http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-full-throttle-campaign-to-keep-ballet-kicking-1437783238 John Selya and Basil Twist will be part of the same class. The article indicates that the stipend for recent fellows has been $3k per month plus NYU housing if you need it.
