I thought Dance Instructors got paid when they registered for classes? I posted those prices in another reply here.

>you have to pay to rent the hall/auditorium

understandable. But it is at a HS not the Disney Concert Hall.

>you have to pay the audio/backstage personnel
ha this is for pre k age kids. What kind of audio do you really need? Someone to push play on the CD?

>you have to pay for the costumes
parents paid for that separate from the cost of classes.

>you have to pay for any professional/semi-professional taping
>of the recital
Yeah those tape and sell DVD's of the performance. They usually charge a small fee to tape. Then collect when people order copies.

>and so on and so forth
this shit is a bigger racket than church

>imagine.
this one is in a very nice area. I assume the cost of registration covers the costs.
