Do you save for a dance budget?

Nowadays a dance budget is what every aspiring dancer needs, whether they start out doing dancing as a pastime or whether they are serious in forging ahead with it as a career.

There is no doubt that recent years has paid wittiness to more and more people becoming interested in the many growing forms and styles of dance, either as a bystander or as someone who actively wishes to take part.

There’s now such an increase as to what’s now available within the field of dance that you now almost need a separate dance budget to help you pay for keeping up with it all, such as the dance lessons, the dancewear, the dance competitions and perhaps, more importantly, the extra dance training and exams if it is to be taken seriously enough.

When joining a dance school at a young age having a dance budget is something many dance moms and dads just provide as a matter of course in the very early years, but as time goes by and the child grows up, so do the costs related to dance increase and such costs can and do become a burden.

They can go from one or two dance lessons a week to six or seven, and with that comes an increase in different dancewear being required for each lesson or dance style and not forgetting the different dance exams also.

A fair assumption can be made that due to a lacking by many families in being able to provide a dance budget for their child as they grow older, results in a loss of interest of the child in dance overall, and as such a relatively high dropout rate can be witnessed.

Worse still, there can be children with extremely good talent and ability that leave dance against their wishes, because of the lack of a dance budget.

As the world of dance is currently forever expanding, you now need to establish as early as possible - not only if your child’s ability in dance is good and dedicated enough, but what is the likely hood of them seeking further studying in dance in their late teens, or perhaps even as a career thereafter.

Should that be the case just like it used to be the thing to take out an endowment policy for your child’s further education, now perhaps you’d need to consider taking out an endowment policy for your child’s dance budget.
