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>
