Dance Magazine: As a young dancer, I was taught that dance disappears as soon as it comes into existence: a definitionally ephemeral art. There’s a certain poetry to this perhaps, but also toxic consequences for dancers. If there’s no tangible trace of a thing, how can it be said to exist? If dance can’t really be said to exist, how could it ever have any economic value? If dance doesn’t have any economic value, why equitably compensate dance artists?
