Yes. I started that when I was very young, when I was at the National Ballet of Canada. The beautiful thing about our art form is that around the age of 35, if you're lucky, or 40, there's a natural transition built into what we do, because our bodies can only dance for so long. Some dancers actually have to stop at 25 because of injuries, so we have to consider what our options are post-dancing. Actually, that's a very important part of the academic programming of a lot of our major institutions. Institutions are very aware of the academic necessity of training dancers.
Being a part of the Dancer Transition Resource Centre, I have basically been able to secure a future so that when I want to retrain, I have access to being retrained, to go back to university or to continue my studies as a dancer. It is wonderfully complementary that when a dancer is still training they can actually work on a transition, which is inevitably going to happen to every dancer by the age of 40, if not sooner. The Dancer Transition Resource Centre is the only organization in the country that is enabling us to do that, and it is an essential component of our dance community's program.
