Jan McNulty Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 When I read the title, I thought the thread was about limbo dancing!! Having said that the article is very interesting. Is the situation the same in the UK? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 So did I! Thanks Jazzpaws. Makes for somewhat disheartening reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzpaws Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hard not to be disheartened isn't it. Don't know about the UK, although we do often follow trends from the US ! There are more apprenticeships than there used to be (think numbers at Norther have increased for example) and the new MA funding starting this year will surely increase apprenticeships at contemporary companies. Thing is, have the number of jobs increased or are companies more likely to face financial difficulty due to impact of new living wage etc, which could result in an even bigger bottleneck than we have now. I really need to grow some more optimism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Unfortunately I think it is going this way too in UK. It is the ballet and contemporary dance equivalent of all those unpaid internships in other professions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
