valsetriste Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Hello! Some months or years ago, I found a link on BA! to an article about dancers' retirement (with many quotes from former dancers) that referenced an academic report claiming that, out of all working artists, ballet dancers have the highest number of training years under their belt yet the lowest compensation. I've tried a bunch of Google and BA! searches to no avail. If either the article or the report rings a bell for anyone, please let me know! Thanks so much! Link to comment
valsetriste Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 In case this helps anyone, I found it: the original article is about Alexandra Ansanelli's career, and it references this survey, which states, "We know of no other occupation that requires such extensive training, that is held in such esteem as a contribution to culture, and that pays so little."
