NEEDS & OPPORTUNITIES FOR FISCALLY SPONSORED DANCE Workforce Needs Assessment: Affordability & Living Wages Are Critical Issues Survey responses indicate that affordable development space and living wages are the most critical needs for the sponsored dance workforce, followed by affordable presentation space and affordable healthcare. The artswide pool ranked living wages as the most critical need. Data also suggest the sponsored dance workforce is challenged in both identifying and accessing resources necessary to meet the above needs. As is the case for artswide respondents, only 8% of dance respondents reports being able to access all of the resources necessary to fulfill its needs.
