13:30Now PlayingSuper Bowl half-time shows are one of the most watched events of the year, and very big business. So why were performers working for free?! Dancers recently joined together, fought, and finally won payment for their work in the Super Bowl this year.
Taja Riley, dance artist, athlete, and activist who’s performed in several Super Bowls, worked with the likes of Janet Jackson, Bruno Mars, Beyonce, Rihanna, and others, and fought alongside the Super Bowl dancers for this year, explains how manipulative the Super Bowl and the dance industry as a whole can be.

At Breakthrough News we believe in the power of independent media. Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. They control the news cycle, to which social media and even most “alternative” media is forced to respond. We are breaking through that cycle.
We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real-time.
People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
We can be that media arm, but only with your help. Become a Patron and join us on the front lines in the battle of ideas.
