The results for the May 2009 poll question were very interesting. The results showed that there is a very wide range of how dance studio owners pay their teaching staff for the time spent at dress rehearsal and recital.
24% stated that they pay an hourly wage.
32 % pay their dance teachers a separate bonus.
20% pay them in another way.
24% do not pay their faculty for those days.
Clearly, there is a wide range of ideas and methods on compensation for working dress rehearsals and recitals. Most teachers have probably found what works best for them and their employees in their unique recital situation.
Please leave comments if you have any thoughts or suggestions involving compensation for the time spent on the stage putting together a show.
If you have a poll question that you would like to see posted, please comment.
