Dancers’ Career Development tell us more about what they do…
“DCD are here for every professional dancer, working across the UK, in every dance genre. We offer career development support from vocational training through to the end of a dancer’s performance career.
We are ambitious for dancers’ futures. We firmly believe in the power and potential of dancers to excel in any role or profession they choose to pursue at the end of their performance career. Through a bespoke programme of personal and professional development programmes, retraining grants, coaching and mentoring, we remove barriers to career progression and support dancers to prepare for and move into new roles both within and beyond dance.”
