-- but some get a lot more than others. According to this week's TV Guide, our professional dancers get $5000 a week, rental housing to stay in while they're still on the show, and a $500 bonus for making the semifinals. All of this cuts off the instant their celebrity is voted off.
The celebrities? It can go as high as $50,000 per episode and doesn't really dip below 25k. There's also bonuses for going deep into the season, but they're -- higher. A lot higher.
No surprise.

You have to figure that the pros either can charge more to their "regular" clients after being on the show, and/or they get more for the tour, especially the ones who choreograph the dances on tour.....
I guess pride is another reason, since they get a copy of that gaudy disco ball trophy for their studio/house.....
