Dance Career Development Executive Director departs

Executive Director JENNIFER CURRY is planning to leave Dance Career Development (DCD) in July.

DCD works to help UK dancers make a successful transition to post-performance careers. Curry initially joined the charity as an administrator, before working as Fundraising Officer and Director of Development and then becoming Executive Director in 2014.

She is also the President of the International Organisation for the Transition of Professional Dancers. 

“It has been a joy and privilege to steward DCD through a significant period in its evolution,” Curry commented.

“I do hope that there will be an opportunity for me to connect with dancers, dance organisations, funders and supporters before [July] – so I can thank many of you personally for all of your support.”

Chair of DCD’s Board NANCY GLYNN said Curry has made an “inestimable impact on DCD during her tenure, significantly increasing its reach and impact on its beneficiaries”. 

“She has led with ambition and with care; with her belief in what dancers can achieve at the heart of every decision. She has built a committed team and leaves DCD in an extremely strong position for the future.”

Recruitment for Curry’s successor has begun.
