Outrage is rising in the dance community as the Super Bowl, past and present, has not paid some halftime show performers.
The paid dancers, Walker says, were “in front of me, beside me ... Some of them changed their jackets and they blended in with us. We were literally standing next to celebrity dancers,” he says, recalling that he recognized a dancer who had just performed on the Grammys.
“Their team was very organized, they knew when to give info and not give information. They were very strategic about how to go about things,” says Walker, explaining how organizers first referred to the paid dancers as the “chorus”; he says the field cast initially thought that meant a chorus of singers. Then, Walker adds, the field cast began noticing that the “chorus” was composed of dancers from L.A.
Matters were confused further, Walker says, by the fact that some of the field volunteers were not professional dancers and were clearly fans with no dance credentials. “We were going to rehearsal, learning actual choreography, and people were beginning to question not being paid,” he says, noting they then thought maybe they weren’t being paid because there were amateurs on the field with them.
Bull says that the unpaid dancers began talking with the paid dancers, and many of them were completely unaware that anybody was getting paid, or that they could use the experience as one of the three union gigs required to gain membership to SAG-AFTRA. Walker, who is not a union member, falls into the latter category, and recently filed a claim with SAG-AFTRA for the work he did on the show in 2021.
