Question:

How much do professional dancers make a year?

Ones that tour with singers.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Fergalicious's figures are correct. Note how wide the range is. But you also need to know that such performers are not paid an annual salary. They live from gig to gig and draw up contracts for each engagement or tour separately, just like actors. And from the pay they receive, their agents get a 10-15% cut off the top. Pay can fluctuate widely from gig to gig, and there are frequent periods of unemployment (meaning performance jobs).
