In the winter of 1998, Patricia Fraser, Artistic Director of The School of the Toronto Dance Theatre, called together some of the School's alumni in order to discuss the transition from student to professional. After a positive and enthusiastic initial meeting, the group decided to form an Alumni Committee.
