Subject: Some teachers do pay the kids
In reply to: JMHO 's message, "Irish Dance has a problem just as big as the cheating. The use & abuse of dancers to promote dance schools and culture without pay. Aside from developing confidence for a select few, there is no inherent benefit for dancers to perform unpaid. Looking back at over 15 years of parades and performances and the month of March it now seems like abuse." on 16:55:16 03/15/24 Fri

Every year all the dancers who participate in shoes get an envelope to put towards their Irish dance expenses. My dancer typically gets around $50-75 for the March shows total. Nothing crazy but a nice gesture from her teachers to acknowledge their contributions.

  • Absolutely. Many schools require shows to attend classes. (NT) -- Former dancer, 10:06:46 03/22/24 Fri
