I know dancers effectively earn much more than minimum wage. But as I hear dancers on this site talk of declining earnings, it makes me curious. Do you think some women would still dance if earnings continued to decrease to minimum wage levels? I think a fair number would.
Dancing has become much less stigmatized, and in a sense even glamorous. Dancers can have a flexible schedule and set their own hours, and they work in a fun club atmosphere, and can drink while working, if they want.
By contrast, on a minimum wage job, the work conditions are much more rigid and formal. It requires a fixed schedule.
I know dancing is a difficult job, but I wonder if some women would still find it more attractive earning the same money as a minimum wage job. With the economy being so bad, I think that a fair number would, but was curious as to dancers point of view.
