AIBU that this seem to be way over priced.

My daughters dream is to do ballet but since she has been very poorly for a long time I struggled to find a ballet class that would accept her.

Well we live in the city and the cost for a 3 year old to do half an hour lesson a week is 10.50 an hour working out at 120 pound odd a term and the specific uniform 75 pound !

This is seems a bit OTT or am I wrong and this is the average cost for baby ballet ?

It's 3.50 - 4 for half an hour where I live, big city in the north.

Half an hour lesson is 5.25? Sounds fine to me.

Is your maths right op? Even assuming 13 weeks in a term that's only £68.25.

As for the uniform do you have to buy their uniform or is optional or just a colour scheme? That can make it a lot cheaper.

That's what I paid when Dd was in grade 4 ballet. But maybe it depends on where you live.

£5.25 sounds OK.
We're £7.50 for an hour, but a small town in a cheap region.

Ballet uniform for a 3yo shouldn't cost £75! Socks, leotard, pumps, wrap skirt. You don't need the body wrap, though it's cute. A 3, you won't be buying character skirts and shoes! What on earth are you looking at that costs £75?!!

Don't forget eBay for used uniform - little worn and outgrown quickly at that age.

I had been dancing since i was 3 - so have my two sisters, and my dad paid £11 for all three of us to train 3 times a week. The dance industry is expensive, thats the way it is if you want a good dance school that actually gets your kids somewhere.

That does sound pricey

It's around £20 a term here. The uniform costs around £50 but least it lasts a little while

My DD who was 3 when she done ballet was £120 a month she had 2 classes a week.

We also had to buy them a specific uniform it cost £100 for full uniform, they had to have the stuff with the dancing name on it so couldn't use cheaper brands which was annoying.

When dd1 started doing extra curriculum stuff, I reckoned the usual rate was £5 per half an hour. That was 12 years ago, so the price sounds good.

I used to pay around £75-80 a term.
We didn't have to buy specific uniform.I got leggings and teeshirt from Sainsburys. The girls got stuff from Sainsburys too.

DD's ballet class is £5 for 45 mins, but that is on the cheap end. We do have ballet uniform to buy on top of that but there is a thriving swaps and second hand circuit in our neighbourhood, so that's handy.

In the baby class (2.5 up) they're allowed to wear leggings and T-shirt until they get more into ballet.

Sorry my daughter was on my lap its 10.50 per half an hour session and term is 12 weeks.

Uniform is linked in the website and is there uniform.
The link takes you 2 a shop that has 2 sections one for another ballet school in the area and one for this one.
Thats how much it comes to.
