[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a former dancer and costumes is actually [b]one of the things[/b] i judge dance schools on for my daughters. My theory is that if they are spending so much on the costumes it's to hide the lack of skill that the dance teachers aren't teaching the kids. What should shine in a ballet recital is the kids, not the costumes. [/quote]

Well this is a silly line in the sand and an innacurate one at that.  There are just as many Dolly Dinkle studios with cheap, budget, reused or no costumes at their recital as there are mediocre studios with fancy expensive costumes.

Your theory is just wrong.  Just as having fancy costumes does not mean the training is bad, having no costumes or cheap makeshift costumes does not mean the training is any good.[/quote]

Well, right. That's why I said it's ONE OF THE THINGS that I look at. It's not the litmus test. [/quote]

But it shouldn't even be a consideration beyond budget, because costumes have zero to do with technical training in either direction, pro or con.
