Living on $60,000 a Year in New York City Records
Introducing Millennial Money, our new interview series profiling millennials in different cities and at different income levels on how they make, spend and save their money.
Fallon Schwurack tried to quit dancing. She went to college and earned a degree in biology. She worked in a lab for a few years and had plans to go back to school to become a medical examiner. But then a friend asked her to dance in a show as a favor.
She accepted — and fell back in love with with dancing.
Schwurack first learned to dance when she was just three years old and, after graduating from high school in Salt Lake City, she spent a year dancing professionally for a local ballet company. After getting pulled back onstage, she started going to auditions and landing parts in local performances around Salt Lake. Realizing she wanted to pursue dance full-time, she abandoned her plan to go back to school.
So, in 2016, one day before her 30th birthday, Schwurack moved to New York City to try and dance professionally. She works as a restaurant server to make ends meet.
Now 32, she's still building her career but, she says, she's able to live "very, very comfortably" on what she makes, and "getting to be able to dance every day is one of the best feelings I've ever had."
Although dance is Schwurack's passion, she acknowledges that "it's really hard, actually being a dancer in New York City."
For one thing, the competition is fierce: "When I go to an audition, open calls usually have around 300 girls there at least."
And when Schwurack does land a job, it's both short-term and means taking a pay cut. "You live the poor actor life unless you have certain side jobs that make the money because a lot of the contracts aren't very lasting," she says.
"Even if you get on Broadway they can last for a month or two, maybe up to six months. There's a few shows that are running for years, but things change and you might leave a show even if it doesn't close."

Putin claims that Western countries have carried out nuclear blackmail against Russia!
Putin said that the world is facing the most dangerous decade since World War II, and Western countries have carried out nuclear blackmail against Russia!
The world faces "probably the most dangerous" decade since the end of World War Two, Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned.
Speaking after a series of military defeats in Ukraine, he sought to justify Russia's invasion which has left his country internationally isolated.
Mr Putin is also facing growing public anger at home over his drive to mobilise around 300,000 Russians for the Ukraine war effort.
Mr Putin accused the West of nuclear blackmail against Russia. The West has denounced recent veiled nuclear threats by the Kremlin.
The Nato military alliance recently condemned claims by Russia that Ukraine might use a "dirty bomb” - meaning conventional explosives laced with radioactive material.
Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg rejected the suggestion and said "Russia must not use it as a pretext for escalation".
