I am the person who like you who are dreaming to be pro. First, you have to know how much can you make money as pro. Sonebody have told you already, but let me tell you again. My friend is working for the one biggest chain dancing studio, she is making $6 hour. The studio charge thir customers $120 per 45 min. lesson. If you would like to be rich, never be dance instructor. But good thing, the most of the chane dancing studio have free traning. but if you quite within two years (my friend's studio) you have to pay $25000 for your traning. So, be dancing instructor is big risk and commitement. Please remember that. Sorry, I told you too many dark side of dancing world. But I want to let you know not only good side of dancing. about me....again I am the person like you who are dreaming to be pro. Because I love to teach and dancing so much. I am practicing 6 hr. every day, 7 days a week. I sleep only 4 hr everyday to make money for taking privte lessons. If you want to be instructor, be good dancer first. Anyway you are really young, so take time to decide to be dancing instructor. Now you know the true world of dancing. Even you know those things and still don't want to give up you dream, I am glad to know about that. To be honest, I hope you don't give up your dream and will see you at some competition someday as pro. But be careful to decide.
