Risk: Moderate

Starting a dance side hustle from scratch can entail risks in terms of time, energy, and potentially money. Beginners might invest in training, marketing, and equipment without immediate returns, leading to financial losses. Some startup costs like dance lessons, studio rentals, and marketing efforts may not pay off right away. Online discussions indicate instances where people have failed to recoup their initial investments in the dance business. I'd rate the risk a 2 out of 3 because beginners could lose money on initial investments before establishing a profitable dance side hustle.
