It is not an issue that has a simple solution. There are investments from different levels of government and the private sector. That is why the average incomes are not very high for dance and other arts disciplines.
However, we have to be careful. The dance ecosystem is fairly complex. The way we invest funds could have negative, unintended and major consequences.
For example, I don't think that investing more money to train more young dancers, who would have difficulty finding relatively well-paid jobs and work as professional dancers, would strengthen the dance sector.
There is something else that was mentioned by our colleague from the National Ballet School, and that is building audiences. I think it's important for Canadians to appreciate and value dance. A good part of the solution could be found there.
