There are many ways to organize and run a professional dance organization. But for those leaders who lack experience working in a company with union protections, they may not understand that certain procedures can be damaging company morale or putting dancers at risk for injury and burn out. Listen in to this week's episode as your host explains appropriate professional practices inside and outside the studio. Here, Barry Kerollis shares his knowledge and experience having danced for 8 years with union companies, 5 years as a freelance artist, 3 years as a union representative with Pacific Northwest Ballet, and 1 year negotiating that company's union contract.
