"Gwen Verdon once said that dancers die two deaths. One when they stop dancing and the other when they stop living. However, there can be a complete spectrum in time between that first "death" and the second. This phase of life is what Career Transiiton For Dancers addresses. Its services are manifold -- career counseling, educational and entrepreneurial scholarships, focus groups, dancer-to-dancer mentoring, peer support, and more. CTFD provides an expansive embrace of dancerkind." Tommy Tune
Dancer, Actor, Director
