Background
The Research into Payscales in Dance was commissioned by Dance UK and the Foundation for Community Dance with support from the ESF funded Creative Renewal programme.
The main purpose of the research was to find and present information that would help to empower individual dance practitioners to negotiate reasonable rates of pay for the work that they do as part of a wider drive to raise income levels across the sector.
“The dance sector” surveyed in this exercise is predominantly publicly subsidised. The sample included both ballet and contemporary dance companies and independent artists and managers working in a range of employment situations. The portfolios of some artists includes work which is commercial, most typically private tuition or involvement in entertainment or other events outside the public sector, but the majority of work undertaken by artists and managers in the sample is directly subsidised by the arts funding system, local authorities or trusts and foundations or via a contract offered by a publicly subsidised agency, venue or other arts/education institution.
The data contained in this report aims to provide information about the factors that affect rates of pay as well as highlighting industry standards and norms where these apply and to offer benchmarks for artists and other professionals in the sector for valuing their work and negotiating pay.
