Celebs like Heather Morris and Alyson Stoner shared their support for professional dancers who have allegedly been asked to perform the halftime show for free.

that she is “happy to be hiring 115 paid dancers for the Super Bowl this year…..the most ever hired” to dance alongside the featured artists onstage.

“It’s not uncommon that the Super Bowl brings forth field local volunteers to be concertgoers for the Super Bowl experience just to deepen the production quality and value and the attention,” Taja Riley — who performed at halftime with Beyoncé, Bruno Mars and Coldplay in 2016 and with Jennifer Lopez and Shakira in 2020 — told Page Six.

“My immediate response was no, I’ll never dance for Super Bowl for free … they have money to pay people. And I don’t know why they would sit here and front like nine days of rehearsal is needed for people to just file into a stadium. That’s a lot, they’re lying,” she told Page Six regarding the casting call stating that field crew would only be doing “limited” choreography.

They also alleged she has a history of bringing on dancers to work for free. Centeno claimed she experienced it firsthand during“There were volunteer dancers to help make it a bigger moment … but the ‘paid’ professional dancers and volunteers were in all the same rehearsals. Basically did the same amount of work and drove themselves to Indio, Calif.,” she said.

Centeno expressed similar sentiments, telling Page Six, “I think in general the dance industry has just come to this place where we’re just sick and tired of a lot of this. Because it’s not just people asking us to dance for free — it’s also these rates [for dancers] haven’t changed in 20 years.” Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Dr. Dre, Eminem and Kendrick Lamar are headlining this year’s Super Bowl halftime show.Riley said it would also be “so amazing” to see the halftime performers stepping up to the plate.
