Dancers and choreographers: salary in the UK
ONS didn't publish salary figures for Dancers and choreographers in 2026: too few full-time employees were in the survey sample for a reliable estimate. This is common for jobs where many people are self-employed, because the survey only covers employees.
The wider group Artistic, Literary and Media Occupations (SOC 341) has a median of £38,871 a year.
ONS did publish a mean of £43,881, which is less reliable than a median would be.
