ACHF Arts Access
Our ensemble will enhance the economic, moral, and social well-being of our performing dancer artists with increased compensation. Veteran performers will be paid an average of at least $30/hour; new, incoming performers will be paid an average of at least $19/hour. Evaluation: Did we do it? What were the challenges? Did we increase well-being and artistic retention.
Rehearsal/performance hourly pay rates: Veteran Performers are paid $30/hour; new (<5 years) performers are paid $24/hour. In addition to rehearsal/performance pay increases, we now additionally pay our dancers to participate in regular training, at 50% of their rehearsal/performance rate. As of January, we provide all dancers with access to free primary health care.
