The question is, what long-lasting positive effect do you get for the money?

I hate the factory aspect of martial arts in this area.

Maryland Youth Ballet is good - uniforms are not expensive and the teaching is professional.

I am willing to pay for good music lessons - $45 for 30 minutes at many reputable studios in the area.

As for horseback riding, I assume owning the horse is naturally expensive.[/quote]

My daughter is on swim team.  I feel like it's a lot of money.  But, she's developing a love of swimming and will walk away with the ability to swim laps well.  When she's 70 and her arthritis is acting her, she can return to the pool for her non impact exercise.[/quote]

How much do you pay for swim team?  [/quote]

$800 for the season which is sept-feb/march.  She can attend up to 4 practices per week.  It is recommended she attend 2.  That's what we do.  If we went to 4 practices the cost per class would be nominal.  I don't want her to burn out on swimming so I limit her attendance--she would go all 4 times if she could.[/quote]
