Abstract	The Liberal Education for Arts Professionals (LEAP) program, now entering its tenth year, has achieved success by providing access to a particular group of underserved adult learners and by tailoring a bachelor's degree program to their unique needs. This article discusses the LEAP program, an innovative degree program for professional dancers. The authors describe professional dancers' needs as they transition to a post-performing career and how the LEAP program addresses barriers to access and provides an innovative program to meet their needs. The article concludes with a description of program outcomes. (ERIC).
