Dear friend,

SPACE

I recently became involved with Career Transition For Dancers, a nonprofit based in New York City that helps dancers transition into careers when their performing career is over. Like professional athletes, dancers' careers are short and end due to injury, age or lack of employment. If you are a lover of dance, you know the joy that dancers bring to your life and to millions of Americans every year. Unlike professional athletes, many have skipped college to maximize their career span and often have developed few skills to help them transition into the regular work force when they near retirement.

 

Since 1985, dancers from around the country go to Career Transition For Dancers for confidential career counseling to help them find a rewarding second career. From pre-professional to mid-career and mature dancers, our programs help dancers in every stage of their career. Their programs can be grouped into three categories: Career counseling, financial assistance, and informational resources.

How can you help?

Miraculously, all programs are provided free of charge. To help keep the programs accessible, join me for the organization's biggest fundraiser of the year on Monday November 8. It will be one of the most exciting dance events of the season and I have the honor of being a 25th Anniversary Chair. The 25th Anniversary Silver Jubilee Gala performance will be at New York City Center, followed by dinner, dancing and a live auction at the Hilton New York.  We hope you will join us for this singular night of thrilling entertainment in support of essential educational and training resources for dancers. Click here to see the full line-up of stars that will be appearing and performing, including  Ann Reinking, Chita Rivera, Twyla Tharp and Tommy Tune.

The 25th Anniversary Silver Jubilee: A Star-Studded Retrospective is generously presented by Rolex and hosted by our Honorary Chairwoman, Angela Lansbury. 

There are three compelling reasons for being part of this milestone Gala:

  • Be inspired - On this one night only, the world’s leading dancers donate their services to produce a spectacular show in support of their fellow performers.  There is nothing else like it.

  • Give back - This is your opportunity to give back to the arts by helping dancers receive education and training for the next phase of their professional life. 
  • Contribute to the cycle of success - Dancers who experience these essential services from Career Transition For Dancers routinely go on to become inspiring leaders in their new fields, while others return to dance with new skills that enable them to flourish for a second time, as choreographers, producers, business managers and more. 

I hope you will join me in championing this important and heartfelt evening.  Click here to purchase patron and performance only tickets  An early commitment with a pledge by August 6th will ensure that you are listed on our gala invitation. 

If you are unable to attend, please consider making a contribution of any amount towards the vital services Career Transition For Dancers provides to dancers.

Warm regards,

NSex
