Dance as you can reached prime time on Spanish Television’s La 1 on March 11. The innovative dance program was one of the public entity’s big bets. However, its low audience ratings have been more than enough for the corporation to have decided to relegate the format presented by Anne Igartiburu to late night.
Now, when there are just a few weeks left for the television program produced by Zeppelin TV to celebrate its grand finale, the digital portal VerTele has exclusively revealed the financial figures of the program.
The aforementioned media has obtained, thanks to a request for information protected by the Transparency Law, the cache of the presenter, Anne Igartiburu, and the four members of the jury, Beatriz Luengo, Norma Duval, Rafa Méndez and Yolanda Ramos.
According to the information revealed by the aforementioned media, Anne Igartiburu is the person who earns the most of the five, pocketing a salary of 13,500 euros for each of the ten installments of Dance as You Can. For her part, the jury is paid based on her role in the dance format. Beatriz Luengo, Norma Duval and Rafa Méndez earn a total of 6,000 euros for each delivery, while Yolanda Ramos receives remuneration that reaches up to 8,500 euros.
However, these salaries may be subject to change upon completion of production. ”We have no guarantees that this is the amount that the presenter and the jurors actually receive, or that it could include other items. These items are subject to settlement at the end of production, and it may occur that the final amount actually paid is lower,” the public corporation emphasizes.
Likewise, VerTele also reveals the total budget of the Zeppelin TV format. The total amount of the production of Dance as You Can amounts to 6,242,144.23 euros. The bulk of the amount, 6,240,798.83 euros, is allocated to the production company’s external resources, while the rest is for RTVE’s internal resources (technical means and personnel), a total of 1,345.40 euros.
