I actually know a girl that does that and she gets paid just fine. She also has her own dance studio.

The musicians I talk about are much more notable than the dancer in their own field, as far as I can discern. But the dancer does not work for an industry nearly as intricate. She dances, and she gets paid for dancing.

Finally, I don't expect musicians to have it easy. Just asking for ideas.

If you're really good, you can charge $50/hr for private dance lessons. Subtract the cost of the dance studio, and it's not much. If you're at the top, you might get a gig for a couple years at the ballet. Might.

That seems a little low for even a minimally qualified instructor, IME (though I suspect the form of dance has a big effect on the potential market.)

That, on the other hand, seems spot on.

Or group lessons in a studio.
