Hi, i am currently taking lessons at a new studio, and i really love the lessons, but sometimes i wonder if i am paying to much, and i wanted to know what everybody else thinks. I buy my lessons by the package for example i just bought a bronze 2 package with 30 something lessons and it was almost $2000. The lessons are 30 mins to 45 mins, but i keep hearing that i am paying to much, and on top of that my instructor is only a student instructor, but he is quite good, in my opinion, but he is only 19 which is just a few years older than me, and they switched me to him after he just arrived there. I already had a gold level instructor who was great, so I just wanted to know what everybody thinks about all of this?
Thanks

Hi, I would shop around for other dance studios and partake in their group classes so as to get a feel for the way they teach and also to compare prices. If you can justify paying this amount for lessons and you are happy then by all means continue. Not sure why you were allocated a new teacher, but as a paying student and if you were not unhappy with your previous teacher then you should not have to change teachers you are in the drivers seat not the studio. I might be off the mark but is this studio you are going to a franchise studio? Franchise studios do have higher prices for tuition as they have admin fees to pay etc. Hope this helps.

I buy my classes one at a time, and pay on the day. £5 for an hour is about right. Private lessons are more expensive: but I wouldn't pay a student anything.
