It depends on what type of dancing you do, and what level you do it at. It could be any price. And it depends how well known you are at that time.

I am a dancer and I get so much pain after dancing. I am only 11 and I will the worst headactes after tummbling class. I am a girl who has arthritis that runs in the family. I also have bunions that run in my family. I am so afraid that I will have one of those thing so that I am forced to stop dancing.
