A profile of professional dancers in Canada

A Profile of Professional Dancers in Canada

Based on a questionnaire from the Dancer Transition Resource Centre

Profile prepared by Kelly Hill, Hill Strategies Research Inc., February 16, 2005 http://www.hillstrategies.com

Professional dancers were asked about the dance-related activities from which they earned income during the past tax year (generally the 2003 calendar year). Almost all selected performing (92%). The next most common sources of dance earnings were teaching (51%), choreography (31%) and grants (22%). The following table summarizes the responses to this question. (Because dancers could choose all applicable responses, the percentages in this table add up to more than 100%.)
