Dancers possess unique skills and unrivaled dedication. Their passion for discovery, innovation and expression is an exceptional strength. In everything we do, we celebrate dancers' unique potential and empower them to continue to affect our world in positive ways, both on and off the stage.
Career Transition For Dancers is a not-for-profit organization that enables dancers to
define their career possibilities and develop the skills necessary to excel in a
variety of disciplines.
We are supportive, perceptive and resourceful. As dancers continue to develop their
strengths, many of them look to us to help cultivate their unique abilities as they
begin the process of defining viable career possibilities. At Career Transition For
Dancers, dancers' needs always come first. Our insightful career counselors focus on
and address each dancer's individual needs. We do this because we believe that
strong relationships are built on understanding, which is why our programs are designed
to provide long-term support when dancers need us most.
