I agree with Cyd.
I have students who have to pay for the time that I am there and not teaching.
I dont do a per dance entry it is a flat fee.
But yes it always has been and alsways will be (in the usa) a rich persons sport/hobby.
With that comes the snobby nose in the air attitude of so many students out there, because they have money and take coaching lessons with 'celebrity instructors' they think thay are better without really knowing much more.
But thats a different topic.
