Founded in 1985, the Dancer Transition Resource Centre (DTRC) is a national, charitable organization dedicated to helping dancers make necessary transitions into, within, and from professional performing careers. It also operates as a resource centre for the dance community and general public and support activities that improve the socioeconomic conditions of artists across the country.
The DTRC recognizes that dance is one of the most challenging professions, physically, emotionally and financially, and that transitions are inevitable. Its goal is to ensure that dancers have the tools they need to reach their potential throughout their dance career and after retirement from dance performance.
