Champion Rolie, a Ghanaian dancer and dance instructor with DWP Academy, has noted that the craft is now more rewarding than it used to be.

“Daning pays. Now I would say it does because when I started, my first pay was GH₵50 in 2017 but now by God’s Grace I have signed big contracts and so on my side with what I am seeing, I would say yes, it pays,” he said.
