Early retirement: Senators they want to ballet dancers retired at the age of 40, a dancers – 45 years old. Such a project was submitted by a group of senators from the Civic Coalition, including: Tomasz Grodzki, Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska and Halina Bieda, who represents the group.
This is what the senators argue: The authors of the project note that the profession of a ballet dancer has been found serious crisis several years after early retirement pensions were abolished. He reigns supreme in his profession shortage of dancers. Lowering the retirement age for ballet dancers is intended to prevent them from retiring early. Therefore, the profession of a ballet dancer would be excluded from the group of professions in which Work is considered to be work involving very heavy physical effort.
Ballet dancers' problems: “The profession of a ballet dancer is a profession that cannot be performed until they receive pension rights under the current rules. Dancers are exposed to constant injuries, and heavy training and frequent performances during performances actually destroy their bodies. For many years they are exposed to significant overload of the musculoskeletal system, muscles and joints, especially the spine. Ballet dancers already at the age of 40 they have problems, not only with dancing, but also with moving in general” – explain the authors of the project, who, despite the problems of the dancers, apparently want more people to work in this profession, as can be concluded from the project description.
