The dance crews are sometimes on the street for 3 months straight, working six days per week for minimal wage, or about $250 a month.
Jackson Damasceno, 29, the co-manager of the Hurricane Truck of Happiness, stated that whereas some dancers give up faculty to go on the street, the vans have grow to be secure havens for younger males from poor neighborhoods who might in any other case get pulled into gangs.
“A lot of the boys who work on these vans scent of the streets,” he stated. “It finally ends up saving these guys’ lives.”
