maybe a side-job as a performer, but generally it wont support you very much

actually yes it can.
most likely not anything longterm, i had a job performing. did two showa a day, and got paid $450 weekly. which wasa actually pretty low for where we performed at. lived jus fine off that for a year. but with jobs like that there's always time frames and contracts, so you jus gotta keep pushin to find the next gig, but if you get out there good enough you can find enough shows to do |

I don't think there are many jobs that require breakdance. I guess you mean purely breakdance in a big veriety as performer, teacher and so on.
I know breakdance can be used as a social worker (what I am studying for). If you are a social worker full time/ part time and do performances, workshops, battles or whatever on the side it's not going to be so hard. But the main thing is you have to have a education for this kind of breakdance living. I have to say I live in the netherlands and also near germany at this place it's pretty possible. So yeah breakdance can be a living, but only whith a education (Social Work) at least in mine opinion. |

haha I guess it is confusing what I saidXD
I hear some say, bboying can be done for a living in a short time and others say it can't be a full time job. Then I am responding to JasonTee's first post and he asks 'can breakdance be a job?' In respons to that I try to say: Making a living of only breakdance is pretty hard and maybe impossible. One of the possible ways to make breakdance a full time living is to become a social worker and use breakdance. This way you can bboy while working as a social worker and next to being a social worker, you can battle, be a teacher and so on. Then I wanted to mention that I live in the Netherlands, in a town near germany. Where I live the way of being a full time bboy can be acomplished at the place where I live and I am not shure if the place where JasonTee lives has enough demand his job. hope this is clearer :P |

you can try busking?
like go around to diff places everyday via train and bboy at the stations etc. i guess that can be alright for a while become a bboy teacher? have your own studio? bleah, but i think ppl that have their own studio already have a lot of $$$ or have another job. |

Here is what Darkness said in an interview to give you an idea:

It would generally be hard to earn steady income for Bboying I would imagine. You could probably entertain or teach, but that's all the springs up in my mind
