Pay: Being an Irish dance teacher, assuming I start my own school, would pay $70-$150 per child per quarter, not including if the children rent costumes, or subtracting studio rental, this is not much considering how sparse Irish dancers are in the area, and my lack of enterprising skills would surely effect this. • Job satisfaction: High
