Dance-fitness may not be a path to great wealth, but it offers a predictable and relatively low-stress income stream compared to dance performing.
Disclaimer: These are illustrative figures and not a guarantee or promise of income.
While a single dance performance may yield a few hundred pounds, the number of gigs per year is limited and unpredictable, with expenses like costumes potentially cutting into profits.
In contrast, dance-fitness trainers can earn a consistent income by leading regular classes, whether at a fitness center or through private hire. For instance, teaching one class per week at £30 per class could generate £1440 annually.
Private hire, charging £8 per participant with 25 people per class, could yield a yearly income of £9600.
However, aspiring dance-fitness instructors need to factor in the initial investment of obtaining the necessary Exercise to Music Level 2 certification, which costs up to £700 and ideally should be renewed every 5 to 10 years.
Additional yearly expenses like music licensing, insurance, and promotion can range from £120 to £400.
