Dance Mum drama alert!
Both my girls dance, they absolutely love it. We recently moved them to a new dance school as it was smaller and we felt that they would get more from it- This was at their request (the other dance school was huge and my girls got a bit lost and felt they weren't progressing)
So the new school is a little more intense- ok that's what we wanted, the girls to receive more training and benefit. There are long training sessions both mid week and weekends. They are also a lot more expensive, as is the compulsory uniform which is £55 a pop. Dance festivals, show costumes (£40 each x 5 dances, x 2 children)
Yep its all adding up, but we know this is a good dance school and the girls love it, so I've accepted all that for now. Even they monthly in advance fess- all accepted.
Last week they canceled a full days' dancing because there was a festival on (my girls weren't involved as they are new)no mention of a refund. Ok, annoying but I let it go.
Today I get a text saying they are having 2 weeks off in the summer (great, a break for mums taxi)but they still expect a full months fees!
What now?! It's made worse by the fact we are away straight after this break meaning we miss a whole month. I accept we should pay for our holiday, but not theirs! Especially when monthly fees for them both are close to £200!!!
AIBU to send them half the months fees?
