New York—Career Transition for Dancers, an organization that helps professional dancers to identify their talents and establish new careers when dance is no longer an option, has awarded legendary theater, TV and film actress Bebe Neuwirth with the Rolex Dance Award.

Neuwirth rose to stardom with her Tony-award winning performance in the 1996 revival of Chicago, and quickly gained recognition for her long-running role as Dr. Frasier Crane's wife on the TV series Cheers.

At the Oct. 29 Career Transition for Dancers "Dance Rocks" event, a 90-minute show featuring performances from such entertainers as Melissa Manchester, The American Ballet Theatre, The Joffrey Ballet and Jason Samuels Smith, Neuwirth was presented with an 18-karat pink gold and stainless steel Rolex "Oyster Perpetual Lady Datejust" in honor of her achievements.

In addition, Rolex Watch USA President and Chief Executive Officer Allen Brill presented dancer Anka Palitz with the 2007 Individual Award for Outstanding Contributions to the World of Dance.

Rolex Watch USA has been involved with Career Transition for Dancers for almost 10 years, and will continue to be the presenting sponsor of the organization's main fund-raising event through its 25th anniversary gala to be held in 2010.
