Please note, in light of current public health circumstances, DCD’s support for professional dancers continues, however all dancer support programmes will be delivered remotely via telephone, skype and zoom until further notice.

Coaching is a two way conversation, offering dancers a safe space to explore the positive changes you may want to make in your life or career, and to find ways to put those ideas into action.

No matter what point you are at in your career or transition, coaching can help you to find the clarity and confidence to move forward in your life.

Through DCD’s personal and career coaching sessions, you will build an awareness of the behaviours and attitudes that may be holding you back from achieving your dreams or just planning your next move in life.

Coaching is based on a foundation of trust and empathy. It is not about making judgements or telling people what to do. Each coaching session is driven by you. You decide the topic and outcome. Our coaches will support you in getting there.

Coaching is an invitation to take action and create the life you want. You may not realise yet just how powerful a tool it is – book a session and see for yourself!

DCD’s Coaching Programme is kindly supported by the Royal Opera House Benevolent Fund for independent dancers and by DCD’s Partner Companies for dancers currently or formerly of those companies.
