Pay the Dancers: Brisbane's Dance Community Takes on the AFL

“On average, I receive calls or email requests once a week asking for 'free' dancers in lieu of exposure. I understand they don't get it and it is my job to educate them,” notes Meg Cooper, CEO of Mad Dance House in Brisbane.

“For me if there is no budget, it's simple. It's a no. I don't want to be known as giving cheap gigs to the dancers. I am a proud advocate for dancers and I want them to be treated as professionals.”
