Avril Cancels
After it was revealed that Avril Lavigne is paying dancers way below the industry standards, the Canadian singer and so-called songwriter has cancelled auditions for dancers on her tour. The dance community was set to boycott Avril for the low pay rate but the Dancer’s Alliance posted an update on Monday night saying that “As of February 4th, 10:30pm Avril’s management has canceled the audition tomorrow and has opened up a new conversation with the agencies. Thanks for everyone’s support on this issue.”
Congratulations to the dancers for getting what they wanted. Demand for what your worth and don’t fall prey to egos like Avril!
