You Deserve to Get Paid! 5 Ways to Make More Money at Your Dance Gigs

August 21, 2025 • Adia • Season 1 • Episode 50

In this episode, I’m sharing 5 powerful ways dance instructors can increase their income at every gig—without raising their rates or burning out. You’ll learn how to turn your energy into repeat bookings, how to invite tips without being awkward, what kind of merch actually sells, and how to use pre-class and post-class sessions to create confident dancers and extra income.

I’m also giving you real-life examples and stories from my own events, so you can see exactly how these strategies work in action. Whether you're teaching at bars, festivals, or studios, these tips will help you serve your students and support your own success.
