mom of a ballroom dancing athlete

When the child was 4.5 years old, there was some dance show on TV. My son came up and said: “I want to do it.” I took him to a trial lesson in “Dynamo”, for some reason it seemed that he will come out and say that he will not go anymore. But he ran out happy and said he wanted more.

From the sublime questions, let’s move on to the practical. What do you need for ballroom dancing and how much does it all cost?

Clothes for training

At first, it didn’t require much expense. You only needed black pants, a black sweatshirt and shoes, and then shoes. But the further a child grows professionally, the greater the needs. Now the minimum required has increased.

It is worth starting with clothes for training: the standard set consists of a regular sweater and a sweater-latina, each costs about 5 thousand rubles, and the same situation with pants, each pair costs 5 thousand.

Of course, prices are different everywhere and can vary, mostly upwards, it all depends on the brand and the capabilities of the purse.

Costumes for performance

One of the most expensive items on the list will be costumes for tournaments. Even if you try to choose not the most expensive atelier, the sum comes out a lot. Frachny suit for the standard cost about 50 thousand rubles, and the suit-latin without rhinestones – about 30. And this is considered inexpensive.

You also need shoes, the price of a pair for each type – 7-8 thousand rubles. There are also people who buy separate shoes for training, there the amount, respectively, the same.

Suits need to be periodically updated, we do it once a year, some twice a year, and shoes are enough for four to six months.

Bag

As for the bag for costumes and uniforms, here it all depends on your desire. Little athletes all wear backpacks, older guys already buy bags. Prices here can fluctuate greatly, starting from 2 thousand rubles and ending with 20 thousand.

Cosmetics

With cosmetics in the son everything is simpler – it is a foundation cream and powder, as a rule. Here the prices are also different, so you can choose options cheaper or more expensive. If you use self-tanner or bronzer, now the price tag is 3-10 thousand for a can.

Training

Group training costs 5-6 thousand rubles – it is choreography, a group of Latin, a group of standard and a run (four times a week).

There are also mandatory individual training. In our club prices are not very high – 2.5 thousand rubles for a pair training. But if my son comes alone, he still pays the same amount. Now we have four individual training sessions a week. They include 45 minutes of work, but self-training is also mandatory.

A month it turns out about 26-30 thousand rubles, this is without tournaments and other expenses. We’re talking about training only.

Tournaments

Here the price depends on the category in which the athlete dances, and how many of them he dances. Let’s calculate for four categories: 800 rubles multiplied by four and get 3.2 thousand rubles for a pass to the tournament. Also paid entrance fee for the parent, it costs a thousand rubles. In addition, it is necessary to make a hairstyle for the performance, for boys it is 1.6-2 thousand rubles.

It turns out that for the tournament comes out about 6 thousand, and a month on average dances two to four tournaments. If you take the average amount, a month for classes and tournaments will be about 45-50 thousand rubles.

A separate column of expenses – sports camps. As a rule, it is winter and summer, they cost about Br30 thousand.

For everyone who wants to give a child in this wonderful sport, this information will be indispensable. The main thing is to make sure that the young athlete enjoys the process, because without this, any business becomes meaningless. It is much more pleasant to observe successes in what really interests your child.
