The $ in Dance, Education & Business

In a time when resources are so scarce, Career Transition For Dancers
would be doing only half its job of supporting dancers' career
transition endeavors if we did not provide financial assistance to
those who need it to further their transition process.

The organization has a strong history of supporting higher education
and degree programs and providing expert advice and funding for new
business enterprises. We realize that these two services can be
defining conduits for helping dancers to pursue and fulfill their
dreams. I see this program as being the means by which dreams are
transformed into realistic attainable goals. Once a dancer is clear
as to the next step they want to take, this program helps them move
toward a viable plan of action.

To that end, since 1985 Career Transition For Dancers has awarded
over $4.1 million in scholarship and grant awards.

Warm regards,

Ann Barry
Founding Director | Grants Administrator

Story by Anthony Rue II, Dancer  & Arts Advocate

Anthony's Words:
Dancing to me was about having fun. Before I called any jobs, I
started dancing with a couple of friends and we formed a group called
AmountBoyz. Back then dance was not at the heights it is now. We
danced on the streets for money, joined talent shows, and performed
at local block parties in the summer. Once I started to work in the
professional world of dance, I noticed a couple things that I wanted
to change. Dancers were not getting paid on time.

The challenge of getting paid a decent amount was also presented to
me a number of times. This is when I started to think outside the
box. Before agents and managers were a big part of the NYC dance
scene, you had to handle your own rates for jobs.

The companies or managers that hired dancers did not care about our
rates. You had to be a pest to get paid, so having an agent or
manager helped a lot once they were set up in NYC. Being a performer,
we look at the business side of things. I knew what dancers and
performers wanted, needed, and loved to do, so I started to work on
my own projects.

For example when I'm looking for a venue I'm not only thinking how
many people can fit inside, I'm also thinking about the sound system
at max volume. Does the stage have a sprung wood floor? Where are the
dressing rooms? Can you enter and exit from both sides? Some of these
things are not considered in popular dance styles, it's left to the
performer to make the best of it.

When doing business I look to please the artist and the audience. It
excites me that I've been able to learn so much through my
experiences of dancing with different artists on tours and that I can
help the next generation coming in the door. I can show them how to
make choices for both business and artistic development. Dancers need
to give both equal amounts of energy to have success.

She has been the producer and director for seven Gala benefit
evenings for Career Transition For Dancers, at City Center in NYC.
