Dear Friends,

Independence, liberty and freedom are principles that come into our
consciousness when we celebrate the 4th of July.  Career Transition
For Dancers embodies these concepts for the dancers it has served for
over 26 years.  Regardless of their age, stage of career development
or style of dance, the organization provides dancers with resources -

fine-tune their adaptive skills -

maintaining the independence to make decisions based on their own
authority.

This past May, Career Transition For Dancers was in Philadelphia, the
home of the Liberty Bell, with its National Outreach Project -
http://cts.vresp.com/c/?CareerTransitionForD/32e437cb13/1f5d2278c5/2dfb9d1171/type=National+Outreach+Projects&utm_content=hbiden%40senecaga.com&utm_source=VerticalResponse&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=Text%20Version%20-%20Link%206&utm_campaign=July%202011%7C%20Moves%20-%20Independence%20and%20Liberation#form%20 . These interactive workshops create a unique opportunity for dancers
from various styles of dance, to come together and talk about their
lives and futures.  In Philly, as in all the cities across the nation
that I have visited as part of the National Outreach Project for 12
years, I was moved by how affirming it is for dancers to gather.
Similar to our United States of America, dancers feel a sense of
unity by their common identification with dance.  And, it is freeing
for dancers to share with each other and know they are not the only
one 'feeling this way.'  Dancers leave with a sense of hope and the
understanding of the numerous ways the organization can assist them.

The Liberty Bell symbolizes freedom for our nation when we proclaimed
our independence to create our own destiny.  Career Transition For
Dancers is a symbol of sorts for dancers.  It validates their
identity as a dancer while providing the necessary tools to equip and
empower dancers to take charge of their situations and to choreograph
their futures.   As the only human services organization solely for
dancers in America which offers all its services -

Finding your passion and strengthfinding and wielding her passion and
strength
Story by Career Transition For Dancers' Dancer-Client Laura Halm

Laura's Words: I have spent the last 25 years of my life focused on a
very singular goal, that of becoming a professional dancer. Unaware
of what it would ultimately require of me, I started dancing as a
very young child.  Even then, I was certain that if I dedicated all
of my energies towards this dream, I would attain it; and, in truth,
my path has managed to closely follow that plan. I attended numerous
dance schools of recognition and have had many opportunities that
most aspiring dancers can only imagine. I attended The Juilliard
School and have been a member of the Hubbard Street Dance Chicago
organization for over seven years. Nonetheless, a dancer's career is
short-lived by its very nature. The stresses of dance on the human
body are great and eventually, it simply stops working as healthfully
and efficiently as it once did. I found myself at that point last
year. Refusing to believe that I had nothing more to offer the world,
I looked both inward and outward to discover the next stage of my
personal evolution.

I started reading various periodicals including National Geographic,
Audubon, and The Atlantic in order to recalibrate my concept of the
world at large. Believing that I am capable of so much more than what
I have achieved thus far, it is paramount that I continue to do
something that allows me to make a difference in the world.  I have
already found (and wielded) the strength within myself to move
audiences; it is now time to use that power towards a different end. 
Too realistic to believe that people will simply want to behave
better of their own volition, I want to direct and influence others
so that they may become better stewards of the planet.

I came to the conclusion, through much thorough deliberation, that
above anything else, I want to study environmental law. Law school
will give me the detailed and focused education that will arm me to
take on my challenge of becoming a participant in policy creation and
regulation.  I have survived a career in professional dance and
despite my lack of practical experience in law, believe that I can
apply that which is currently required of me towards this new
endeavor.  As a dancer, I already possess many important skills in a
field where tradition and precedent is established, individual
strength is respected, ability to think and react quickly is
necessary and intelligently directed creativity as a means of
development is admired.  I am, above anything else, disciplined.

I am honored that in August of this year, I will be joining the Class
of 2014 at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of
Law.  If my past successes are any indication of the future, I am
going to be just fine.
She has been the producer and director for seven Gala benefit
evenings for Career Transition For Dancers, at City Center in NYC.

Entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk encourages dreamers and up-and-comers
who face self-doubt. The Internet has made the formula for success
simpler than ever, he argues. So there's now no excuse not to do what
makes you happy. (Strong language used.)

With endearing honesty and vulnerability, Raghava KK tells the
colorful tale of how art has taken his life to new places, and how
life experiences in turn have driven his multiple reincarnations as
an artist -- from cartoonist to painter, media darling to social
outcast, and son to father.
