 Five, six, seven, eight. Turns, tricks, teamwork. From Boston University's mostly female dance theater group, also known as DTG. It's the largest and oldest dance group on campus. Similar to BU's also mostly female dance team, DTG doesn't get all their funding from BU's student activities organization. Historically, male groups are probably a lot more funded. DTG dancer, Lavinia Kosher, says among females, there's not enough representation for women of color and transgender women in dance or sports. Gender disparity is a very real thing in the sports world across forms. I mean, whether we're just talking about the gender pay gap or representation, anything like that. DTG mentor, Mickey Taylor-Pinney, says even in the dance world, males continue to get career and financial priority. Males tend to dominate who gets jobs, who gets funding. That has always been the case, even though it's mostly women who started in the modern dance field. A December GBH article says BU's dance team cleans up a ganas arena for about $7 to $800 to help get them to their competition in Florida. DTG members pay $40 each semester that goes towards funding for the show. They also hold a bake sale on campus to raise money. Reporting for BU TV News, I'm Sophia Falbo.
