My granddaughter's Ballet instructor has tried to discourage her advanced students from banking on a careerin dance because she says the average dancer earns less than $16,ooo per year---hardly enough to survive on. According to her, dance, as a profession, is not very realistic. However, if you sincerely have the passion and drive and come from a family who can afford to support you on an ongoing basis (this latter issue is critical), then she will support their efforts. Another issue is the extremely short "shelf-life" of dancers. She, herself, was finished at 20, and most, if not all , of her most promising students over the years were out for health and injury reasons before they even finished their master's programs.

Her advice: Dance for joy, fun, exercise, peace of mind and passion. But always have a PLAN B ready for income and survival.

How much money do snowboard instructors make?

How much snowboard instructors make can have many variables. If you are certified you will normally make more per hour. If you live in the mountains you will make more as most lessons are half or full day. Typically an instructor non certified will start out at min wage or slightly higher and possibly get an extra couple of dollars for each extra person in the lesson. A fully certified level 3 instructor can make anywhere from $12 - $30+ an hour depending on the resort and years of experience. Tips can affect how much an instructor makes, a good instructor will make decent money in tips. Also discounts on snowboard gear is a benefit many instructors take advantage of which indirectly affects how much they make. With all the variables in wage a snowboard instructor just starting out will probably not make a lot, but with time and education a good instructor can make decent money. Note: you will not get rich teaching snowboarding, but you will have a great time!
