Re: Dance Class Costs, Costume & Tickets?

My MIL has her own dance school.
Tuition $30 monthly (jazz tap ballet) she teaches different dance types in one class so she doesnt charge one fee for ballet one for jazz etc. Even her 3 yr olds do 3 dances. She only charges extra for a hip hop class

I believe her tickets for show are about 20-25 (i do not recall)

Costumes vary. Costume companies charge a lot for their costumes. Some she will get on clearance or some she will have kids wear leggins and tshirt (depending on the type of dance/theme) okder kds will sometumes reuse an old costume. she tries to keep costs low if she can.

My 2 1/2 year old DD does ballet. We pay $45 a month for tuition, her recital outfit cost $85 plus $12 for the tights, and recital tickets are $25 each.
This was her first year, so when we registered, I had a coupon for her a free recital outfit,so I only had to pay for the tights. Next year, no coupons! Dance is expensive, it all adds up! Pictures cost me $85, the recital video was $40. Only buying the video because you cannot record the recital yourself, it is copyrighted!

Re: Dance Class Costs, Costume & Tickets?

I *think* monthly tuition is $42.

Costume was about $80, that included tights.

Tickets were $20 if bought ahead of time and $25 at the door.

oh...she takes an hour class. 1/2 hr tap 1/2 hr ballet. They only perform tap in recital at this age though.

Our studio makes the class moms buy a ticket even though they don't get to sit in their seat. They are backstage the entire show except when their child is on stage, they can run out and watch in the doorway and then run back. I don't agree with it at all.

Our costumes were $120 or something like that, they come with tights.

Tuition $52 for an hour, registration fee is $45 for the year.

Recital tickets $25, even for handheld infants

Re: Dance Class Costs, Costume & Tickets?

$98 per month for 2 hours of dance classes. $60- $75 per costume and ticketed were $22 each.

On the bright side my DD's dance classes are cheaper than my other DD's gymnastics which we pay $78 per month for 50 min, and end of year show is free for them to enter but costs $12 per ticket for spectators. No official leotard of anything provided, so that's another $35 for that.
