It is complicated, to say the least.
There are also many, many dancers in Europe (and, it seems, where I live in Germany especially) from many other countries, and the competition is very tough.
There are also some voices of concern over the "politics" of giving jobs to so many who are not citizens /nationals / long-time residents of the countries where the jobs are.
I, too, was one of those who came for work.
