Where Are The Dancers? No, Seriously!
Editors Letters || Monday, 25 September, 2006
I do not understand this pay thing. I think we, dancers and the companies, are running in a vicious circle. I think the industry believes there is not enough money to pay for all of their expenses and that includes us, the dancers.
Another thing I do not get is as a young choreographer running her 1st research and development period, I paid my dancers 450 pounds per week, if I can do it, why can´t everyone else?
That pay level was advised by West Midlands Arts, so why are all companies not following this? Please, if you have any answers please tell me...
Stand up for yourselves guys, :)

We're going to have a quick look into whether or not ACE can recommend pay levels from a legal point of view or not. Hey, maybe we can get them all thrown in prison! (just kidding)
