From pre-professional to mid-career and mature dancers, our programs help dancers in every stage of their career. Our programs can be grouped into three categories: Career counseling, financial assistance, and informational resources. All programs are provided free of charge.

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.

In addition to the organization's 4,300 active clients, we have empowered thousands of dancers in 47 states to reach their potential. This support is dependent on individual donors like you who provide almost 70% of our annual budget each year. Donate now to help us reach even more dancers.
