[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dance need not be expensive. You want to find a place where your money goes to quality instruction, not tacky costumes and weekend "competitions."[/quote] Are some schools more known for emphasizing one than the other? I'm thinking of NoVa schools in particular. My young DD has noticeable grace and coordination (my MIL was a pro dancer and I think DD got her genes there) but I don't want to blow a fortune on crummy costumes rather than having her learn to dance well. I remember my own dance class experience as a kid, and the shameless mark-up on costumes. My mom was horrified at spending almost $100 (back in the 80s!) on the tackiest, ugliest piece of polyester junk for my jazz class performance. It wasn't even pretty (think big sequined poly t-shirt with tacky headband) and I was as bitter as my mom was. That was my first and last dance class![/quote]
