last year i took one class a week and wanted to take much more!. i got a job over the summer, made a ton of money (well a lot for a 15 year old) and now i take five classes a week and pay for three of them!. so my suggestion would be to offer to help pay for the classes if you have the money already or by getting a job!. at my studio, i believe swing is a two hour class once a week and it costs around $65 a month just to give you an idea of how much you'll need to pay!. of course every studio is different so it may be more or less depending on where you go!. also keep in mind that if you go to a studio, you'll probably have winter and/or end of the year recitals that you'll need to buy costumes for which (at my studio anyways) can cost $50+!.

best of luck :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

you should get a job wether it be waitressing or babysitting and make a lot of money!. Tell your parents youll pitch in alot and even pay the whole thing if possibe!. Next yaer when i start pointe that will be really expensive beacause that will be 4 dance classes a week for me si i have to pay for two of the classes!. Idk about trying to find a swing class but keep looking and searching good luck!! hope i helped at laest a lil!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

maybe you can tell them why you want to dance!. Ask them why they won't let you dance (other than the expensive excuse)!. Or work out a deal with them, (eg!. Mom, If i pay a quarter of the price will you pay the rest!?) then go babysitting or mowing lawns of something like thatWww@QuestionHome@Com
