This is because Ballet dancers are usually part of a ballet company which is more consistent and stable than other dance jobs. Ballet dancer's steps are generally more technically demanding than other dancers so more skill and practice is required.

What is the middle of the money ballet dancers make?

Ballet dancers are paid $15,000-$30,000 US dollars on average annually. However this depends on the level of the company and its prestige, and the position you hold in the company. For example, dancers at American Ballet Theatre make more money than dancers at the Portland Ballet Company. Also, principal dancers will make much more than dancers in the corps de ballet.


Is ballet really just primarily for girls?

Absolutely not. Male dancers get paid much better than females because few men want to participate in ballet. If there was more of an up and coming group of male dancers, more of the new ballets would be geared so that both men and women have parts. Pas de deux are nearly always a man and a woman.

How much are ballet dancers paid?

Median hourly earnings of dancers were $9.55 in May 2006. The middle 50 percent earned between $7.31 and $17.50. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $6.62, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $25.75. Annual earnings data for dancers were not available, because of the wide variation in the number of hours worked by dancers and the short-term nature of many jobs-which may last for 1 day or 1 week-make it rare for dancers to have guaranteed employment that exceeds a few months.<http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos094.htm>
