To not want to pay to be in a dance show

My DD is almost 4 and attends a weekly ballet class that she enjoys.

There is a show planned for December and we have had a letter to say if she wants to be in it we have to pay £50 in addition to the usual class fees.

This is to pay for a costume and 2 tickets apparently but seems like a lot to me as she will only be in once dance.

Is this usual in dance classes these days or AIBU to think it's a lot of money to perform one dance?

I'm also concerned that if I book the classes from September but say no to the show that the whole term will be working towards a show she won't be performing in.

So wondering if maybe we change classes to another group, or is this standard dance class prices?

I'll attach a copy of the letter.

DD(11) is in a show soon.
£250 costumes
£40 tickets
Pretty normal tbh

To be fair though the costumes are gorgeous and worth every penny

That’s extortionate. What do the other parents in the group think?
