How do professional ballroom dancers make money?

Question

I mean when they practice all the time so they dont have other jobs, how do they get money to pay bills and pay for training which i assume is really expensive? And are they rich or is it little money to get?

Answer 1

Well, there are prizes for winning competitions and money from endorsements which help if they are doing very well. It is really expensive to train, however, and so many teach classes or have "day jobs" to help pay for costumes and coaching.

Answer 2

Most ballroom dancers are probably homeless because they were dumb enough to go to dance school instead of a real college.
