ALEXANDER DUBE Obituary
dancer advocate and artist manager, died from pancreatic cancer on Thursday, May 19, 2016, at the age of 67. Alex was raised in Massachusetts and embraced the athleticism of tap dancing at a young age, studying classical ballet at the famed Robert Joffrey School of Ballet. In 1976, Alex and Isabelle D. Zakin established the first- ever dance management agency concentrating on the needs of dance superstars for opera houses and dance companies around the world. In 1985, Alex joined the American Guild of Musical Artists and also served on the board of directors of Career Transition For Dancers, the first American organization addressing the needs of dancers facing the early aging-out of their careers. In 2001, Alex was appointed Executive Director of CTFD and soon after the organization's President. In 2015, Alex assisted with integrating CTFD into The Actors Fund and continued to serve as an advisor. "To my great surprise and delight, over the course of my career, I've never needed a resume, having always had the good fortune of being the recipient of wonderful opportunities, always serving dancers and dance."
