According to 2025 BLS data, there are approximately 5,990 Dancers employed across 15 US states.
California leads with 1,870 Dancers employed, followed by New York and Hawaii.
The BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) survey does not publish detailed salary percentiles for occupations with high income variance, small sample sizes, or non-standard compensation structures. Dancers often have variable incomes from freelance work, performances, and project-based pay, making standardized wage reporting difficult.
Employment and wage data is sourced from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) survey, 2025 estimates. Not all states report data for every occupation; some data points are suppressed to protect employer confidentiality.
