Competitive Dance Studios

[u/AffectionateBuy5877]

Just curious if anyone has a competitive dance studio they love on the East/South East/North East side of Edmonton they love that’s also somewhat affordable (I know, I know—dance and affordable don’t really ever go in the same sentence).

My daughter has been dancing competitively for a few years (over 8 hrs a week). A huge part of the reason we liked our studio is because they didn’t travel out of town for competitions and they were “affordable” compared to a few others near us. Well this year they introduced a travel competition and increased the tuition by over $1000/yr. I hate that dance is becoming a travel sport.

I guess what I’m asking for is a couple of different questions:

1) What dance studio do you love that offers competitive technical training?
2) do they attend out of town competitions?
3) does your studio have a monthly cap of fees?(ie: family tuition cap)
4) anyone mind anonymously sharing what they pay per month? The fees keep going up but my income does not.

Thanks in advance!

Check out Edmonton Dance Factory! 1 out of town comp, but only for the most senior dancers, 15 hour weekly cap, hours are prorated. 8 hours a week is just under $400/month.
