REALLY?! Not sure if im the only one who can see it but it says Young Ambition Dance Co. Not Young Ambition Charity Co. Just cause your child is part of a dance company doesn't mean it's actually free unless it's an actual federally funded non-profit dance company which its not! A lot of times (the majority of the time) Children don't get paid to perform and if they do it ranges from like $100-$300 and when you divide it by all the performers and deduct any travel expenses... each kids ends up with roughly $20 bucks if they're lucky!!
Now as far as tuition, unless she's the only one in NYC who doesn't pay rent or utilities, tuition must get paid to keep the place functioning. Parents must pay for Shoes and costumes cause guess what... IT'S THEIR DARN KID WHO'S WEARING IT!! why should the director or the studio be held liable for the Parents choice in enrolling their kids in a luxurious sport... cause last i heard a parent is responsible to provide food and shelter... not dance classes! Therefore if You (Ms. Anonomous) can't afford it! try the parks dept for FREE ACTIVITIES!!
