Dallas Ballet Dancers Jeté Away With $560K From Union-Busting Company
www.wonkette.com: It’s not easy being a ballet dancer. It requires not just talent, but also years of (frequently expensive) training, hard work, lost toenails (it’s a thing), and bloody feet for a career that rarely lasts too far past one’s 40th birthday (unless one is Sylvie Guillem). Dancers who are just starting out in the corps de ballet frequently only make, like, $20,000 a year, which is nowhere near enough compensation for a job that requires so much skill (and, again, lost toenails).
