During recent years, dance has gained much popularity, something we can credit in part to the rise of a number of dance based reality TV shows. TV shows like ‘Strictly Come Dancing,’ and its US spin off, ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ have a mass following of literally millions of viewers. These and a number of other shows have inspired people to become interested in and even take part in dance.

The British government has been very openly encouraging the British to get dancing as part of a campaign to fight obesity. This is down to the fact that dance is a great calorie and fat burning activity. But if you want to take part in dance classes, how much should you expect it to cost?

Well, let’s presume you are a beginner looking at taking a lesson each week. Of course the precise cost will vary depending on where you live and the type of dance you want to take part in. There are so many options now, for example, Street Dance, Hip Hop, Bollywood, Belly Dancing and more traditional forms of ballroom dancing. The prices and popularity vary. In the UK, however, you can take part in beginner’s lessons from as little as 3 per hour in many towns, or from 5 upwards in larger cities. Of course, the further you advance and the higher the level of tuition you require, the more you can expect to pay and some parents pay literally hundreds per month for their children’s advanced classes. However, for beginners in the UK the costs are much lower.

After that, the next consideration is how much dancewear and costumes might cost. This can be more expensive than the actual lessons in some cases. However, beginners will rarely need special dancewear. This type of clothing is more often used by advanced dancers in tournaments and competitions. Beginners will generally only need comfortable footwear, trousers and a t-shirts for their lessons.

So as is clear, dance is a really affordable hobby. If you do end up progressing to advanced level, where there might be a need to spend more on dance costumes and lessons, you can benefit from using the Internet to compare prices and get the most for your money!
