Making money at dance comps

[pygmalion]

Just curious. Does anybody actually make money from dance competitions? Promoters? Competitors? Teachers? Who makes money, how and how much? Lots? Little? No actual dollar figures, please. :lol: :wink: Anybody have the scoop, or observations?

IF the event is a success, the promoters make quite a bit of money.
The judges make a little, but they make more a result of the coaching jobs they receive as a result of their position. Teachers make quite a bit, especially if they take lots of students or win top teacher awards, but the numbers vary widely. I'm not aware of competitors making a significant income, but successful competitors get coaching jobs as a result of their success.
