25000 divided by 40 weeks of teaching = 625 a week.
625 divided by 25 hours of teaching = 25 per class.

Yes, 25 per class is possible (maybe not in the beginning).
25 Hours a week of teaching is possible (but probably not for longer than 10 years, than your body is worn out, depending on the dance styles you teach).
40 Weeks a year of teaching is a normal danceclass season.

Most teachers just don't make the 25 hours a week. It's physically to hard to do. And when you want a family, you want/need to stay (more) at home in the evenings.
It will not possible to find 1 place where you can teach 25 hours a week.
It will be extremely hard to find 5 places in any area where you can teach 5 hours in a day, perfectly spread over the complete week.

Most teachers I know, trying to make a living of teaching, do about 15 hours a week.

15 hours a week x 25 per class = 375 a week.
375 a week x 40 weeks = 15000 a year.
15.000 sounds like the average I hear from teachers (I'm an SO).

Sure, if you're Michael Flatley. Everyone else? Not much above minimum wage, m'dear. There's a reason why you see so many professional dancers working as waitresses or retail assistants when not dancing.
