Dancers’ Career Development (DCD) is ambitious for dancers’ futures. We believe in the power and potential of dancers to excel in any profession they choose to pursue at the end of their performance career. 

We offer a continuum of career development support, from initial training to retirement from the stage. We’re here for every professional dancer working across the UK, in every dance genre. Our bespoke programme of personal and professional development programmes, retraining grants, coaching and mentoring removes barriers and supports dancers as they expand their professional portfolio and/or move into new roles in and beyond the creative industries.

We promote awareness of dancers’ incredible innate qualities and transferable skills, raise aspirations and build confidence, to help nurture the remarkable talent pipeline of dance artists who will become the next generation of CEOs, choreographers, creative leaders, doctors, events managers, film-makers, horticulturists, lawyers, personal trainers, physical therapists, psychologists, teachers, and so much more.
