Came home and found this on my feet. I am super thankful it's easter break here in germnay so I can recover from my bloody blisters otherwise it would be painful as hell at rehearsals. 😖
Another little reminder that the most beautiful sport can be extremely painful and still alot of event/show manager or whoever hires a dancer is not willing to pay them:
Hiring a dancer or asking them to perform at your event?
What you think you are paying for:
Someone to do a little dance routine
💃🕺 What you are actually paying for:
Someone to do a dance routine💃🕺, plus:
Equipment/Costumes 👠👟👗 Hours of rehearsal time 🕜🕠🕕 Rehearsal space🏟️ Transportation to and from the venue 🚄🛵✈️ The amount on money spent on lessons and training to become the dancer that they are💰
Promotion and website costs💻
The percentages that goes to income taxes 📈
Telephone and Internet bills spent organizing the performance and it's rehearsals🔌
Any manager, agent or other booking fees📜
Insurance for medical treatment when it comes to injuries during rehearsals/stage 💉💊 Not to mention…
The payment also has to cover food, housing, bills and all other living expenses 🍊🏘️ Still thinking that offering “exposure” or experience is a fair price?
You wouldn't expect a doctor, carpenter, hairdresser, dentist, chef, shop owner, etc. to work for free, would you?
Let that sink in. 🤯 .
