I am a bit shocked to find that dd's pre primary ballet is going to be £6.50 for a half an hour class.

Is this the going rate - £91 a term!

I live in the North East, so maybe that's why I'm a bit taken aback at the price.

I think I'll just pay it, the teacher seemed very nice, DD did a trial class and enjoyed it. I didn't ask the price at the time so more fool me.

But yes steep I think for what it is.

£40 a term for 30 minute lessons. If you do a 2nd class there is a discount (can't remember off hand but I think it's about £5 off the subsequent classes)

£3.80 for a 45 minute lesson with a RAD teacher, all ages are the same (S Wales)

Just wait until the exams start - the extra kit and lessons cost us around £200 this summer Shock

I'm guessing that's not London, you can pay £9 per class round here Shock

Depends where you live I guess? We pay £6 per hour, regardless of the grade, so it would be £3 for a half hour lesson. That's at a RAD school in the NE.

That seems steep! I pay £40 per term for an hour. Not a mega serious dance school but they recently did exams and all did well

That seems a bit on the high side for a 30-minute class though, whereabouts do you live?

Around here it costs about that for a class of an hour and a quarter for older children.

I pay £46 a term I think. Now I'm paying for ballet, tap and acro it's getting expensive

Yes, that's about right.
