Beyond the Studio with Dancers’ Career Development & One Dance UK
Come along to this workshop to meet the friendly team from Dancers’ Career Development (DCD) and learn about the support they offer to dancers, including professional development, retraining grants, coaching and mentorship.
One Dance UK and NIDMS are delighted to join DCD to share information about health and wellbeing support for dance professionals as a part of this session.
The workshop will also include practical coaching exercises with the DCD team, to explore your transferable skills, strengths and values; to think holistically about your career trajectory, and plan for the future with excitement and confidence.
“The dancers [who attended] found the session so beneficial and were blown away by the support out there that they weren’t aware of.”
Sam Broadbent, Company Chameleon (host, previous Beyond the Studio workshop)
