Career Transition For Dancers and the Shubert Organization gathered at the Eugenia Room at Sardi's (234 W. 44th St.) on March 26th for a Between-Show-Get-Together event that featured Broadway dancers.
The event was hosted by Allyson Tucker, John Selya, Mercedes Ellington, Graciela Daniele, Brenda Braxton and Andy Blankenbuehler.
Career Transition For Dancers, with offices in New York and Los Angeles, has helped over 3,300 professional dancers identify their unique talents in preparation for establishing new careers when dance is no longer an option. Since its founding in 1985, the organization has provided more than 38,000 hours of one-on-one career counseling - at no cost - and has awarded over $2.2 million in educational scholarships.
