Because every step deserves to be valued.
The Worth Every Move Fund is The CRayProject’s commitment to ensuring that Black and Brown dancers are paid equitably for their time, labor, and artistry. This fund supports fair compensation, professional development, and the creation of sustainable opportunities for dancers who are too often underpaid, overlooked, or expected to work for exposure.
Across the dance industry, systemic inequities have long devalued the work of artists of color—limiting access to funding, resources, and platforms. Many dancers invest years of training, physical dedication, and cultural contribution, yet struggle to make a livable wage. The Worth Every Move Fund directly addresses this imbalance by prioritizing fair pay, career longevity, and artistic dignity.
Through this fund, The CRayProject provides:
-
Paid performance and rehearsal opportunities for Black and Brown dancers.
-
Stipends and funding to support continued artistic and professional development.
-
Resources and training that help artists navigate the business of dance, build careers, and sustain their craft.
Your support helps shift the narrative—recognizing that dance is not just an art form, but a profession that deserves respect, compensation, and care. By investing in the Worth Every Move Fund, you’re investing in equity, visibility, and the future of Black dance.
