Providing career counseling is at the heart of the organization's mission. We help dancers with the process of self-evaluation, guide their discovery of practical options, and motivate them to achieve their long-term goals. Created to provide dancers with an open-ended dialogue, career counseling helps define dancers' interests and skills.

Career Transition For Dancers offers individual counseling and group counseling that introduces dancers to useful skills and topics. We also have local and national outreach projects to engage dancers outside of our local offices.

Our Outreach Projects have a lasting impact on dancers. We take our career counseling services on the road to reach dancers who are unable to travel to our New York City, Los Angeles, or Chicago offices.

Career Transition For Dancers is the only organization in the nation that provides financial assistance specifically to help dancers' careers. The various programs within The Caroline H. Newhouse Scholarship Fund and The Sono Osato Scholarship Program for Graduate Studies provide assistance for dancers who are looking to earn undergraduate or graduate degrees, vocational certification, or the acquisition of new skills. The organization also provides seed money to entrepreneurial dancers to found new businesses, encouraging the community's vitality.

Sir Francis Bacon said "Knowledge is Power." Just as dancers depend on their knowledge of technique to develop their craft, they need the right information to successfully navigate their life-long career moves. On our site, we provide valuable Online Resources that facilitate an on-going exchange of information between our clients, experts, career counselors and other professional mentors. In our New York and Los Angeles offices, we provide resource centers equipped with an online computer lab, printers, and a library filled with career development literature, university guides and other relevant materials.
