As we come to the end of the 23/24 ballet season and retirements are announced for many of the performers we have held dear for years, we are reminded of how a ballet dancer's career can be both beautifully bright and ever so fleeting.

While traditional dancer support ends the moment they step off the stage for the last time, there is an organization that cares deeply about the continued success and well-being of dancers in all their phases of life — The Encore Fund. We were honored enough to spend time with founder Shelby Whallon to learn about their mission to give dancers more than a final bow.
