The qeustion that I ask looking at your numbers is “When do you decide that ddancing is no loonger a financially viable option?” $2.9K is not bad for what looks like a part time job, assuming that you do not include the time needed to prepare and train, shop etc. Also, what are your expenses associated with earning the $2.9K including outfits, make-up, waxings and nails if done professionally etc. Those have to be subtracted from income to do a real after cost estimate of the net income from the job.
Also It is not clear if the $2.9k includes witholding of self employment and other taxes to get a full cost as well as any benefits you may want to buy for yourself such as health and disability insurance. I think that dancers should be buying disability insurance as they have risks of injuries that could put them out for weeks or longer.
