Why is dance so expensive?! Competition season bills are hitting their high as the season starts, but we can't always pinpoint why it's so costly! In this episode we discuss our own experiences paying for competition dance, how studios bill, what competitions charge and why. Our good friend Chris Suchan from Plantinim Dance also joins in on the conversation to share his professional voice on things competitions and conventions need to pay for that contribute to our costs. You won't want to miss this!
