Well, if you are burning out you have to find some way to spend less time on something. How to do this is not really something I can tell you, since you know your situation better than anybody else. However, some ideas that pop into my mind:

Turning your dancing talent into something that makes money instead of your job. Can't you teach dancing to beginners? That way you should be able to make more money in less time because it is something that requires skill instead of some random job.

Deciding to be excellent at two things at the same time is a bit much. Is there anything wrong with being "among the best" instead of "excellent" in school? Are there some subjects that are not that important for you where you can slack a bit? Some subjects may be very important because you want to later get into a field where they are key. If I look back to my high school period (15 years ago) the only subjects that were truly important for me were English and mathematics. In a few years you will probably look at it the same way, but probably with other subjects being the most important.

Can you study more effectively? An all-nighter costs more than it yields. What subjects cost too much time for you? Can you find hints somewhere or from somebody that help you to study these more efficiently.

Do you really need all the money you are making? Could you do with a bit less?
