Swiss end ballet training for lack of cash
NewsThe canton of Basle has terminated its ballet school, the country’s only professional dance apprenticeship outside Zurich.
Sad day for Swiss arts.
Dance to the end of love, as Leonard Cohen used to sing.
The reason is physical and psychological abuse of students.
Sounds like this is the real cause. Here is an article I found (in German) that wasn’t under a paywall:

That’s normal training for dance.
