[quote=Anonymous]Studio owner here - there are three ways studios do recitals. #1 studios own the costume and it is borrowed for the show ( cost is rolled in monthly tuition). #2 studios own the costume and it is rented for the show (25-50$ covers dry cleaning,etc ) #3 studios buy costumes and student keeps the costume (40-100$). The majority of studios operate under the third umbrella because kids love to keep the costumes for dress up. The costume themselves range from 35-90$. Sometimes studios 'up charge' about $10-15 if they plan to include tights or for the cost of shipping. I have never seen a studio up charge more than that. Yes, costumes are expensive - but for every parent who gawks at the price and wants to rent, there is another parent who wants to keep it. Recital fees pay for the venue rental and staff ( high schools are at least $3000 for the weekend, plus you have to pay custodians, administration, insurance etc) [/quote]
