Liebe KollegInnen,

aus der Biografie einer Ballett-Tänzerin. Das Wort "Bühnenreife" deutet auf eine erfolgreich absolvierte Prüfung hin, mit der die Tänzerin dann bei "echten" Produktionen auftreten darf.
Danke im Voraus für eure Hilfe!

Ihre Akademiereife erreichte die Tänzerin in Stuttgart, die *Bühnenreife* am Centre de Danse International Rosella Hightower in Cannes.

for your specific context, I guess I'd say "qualified as a stage performer", "received certification as a stage performer" or "was certified for stage performance" ... or something like that
