Dancers for Sale
There's has been a lot of debate and reporting, well from us at least, on the recent issue of dance companies selling sccess to their dancers (in a social context) to raise money for their respective companies.
Article19 has come down firmly on the "it's unethical" side of the fence while Scottish Ballet, the company that got the story started, have defended their dancers auction run through eBay. That the auction raised only a few hundred dollars has gone unmentioned by the company.
Essentially, Scottish Ballet offered a dinner date with two of its leading dancers with the winner being the highest bidder on the eBay auction site.
