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.
Career Transition For Dancers is a nonprofit 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. We believe that strong relationships
are built on understanding and that dancers' needs should always come first. Our
insightful career counselors focus on dancers' individual needs, and our programs
are designed to provide long-term support. Since 1985, we have helped thousands of
dancers cultivate their unique abilities and express their potential both on
and off the stage.
With offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and a mobile National Outreach Project,
we have provided over 55,000 hours of individual and group career counseling, with a dollar
value of over $6 million, and awarded $5 million in educational and entrepreneurial
support. Outside of the organization's 5,400 active clients, we have helped thousands of
dancers take their first steps in discovering rewarding second careers.
We've come a very long way in the last 27 years, and in that time we've made a difference
in the lives of thousands of dancers. Learn about our first days,
find out how our organization and its programs have developed, and read brief portraits of the
individuals who helped us and shaped our growth.
Donations made by individuals amount to nearly 70% of our annual budget. The commitment of
our supporters is directly tied
to our ability to empower dancers, and we have the deepest gratitude for this support.
