Clevlandgal you will not make friends on this site by your tone. I too have paid my $50 to discuss this type of information in a private setting. So you will excuse me if I pass on this discussion .

There was no intended "tone." Just honesty about what I am willing or unwilling to do.

Maybe if you treated your studio like a business you would have the $50 to learn how a real studio runs. If being too cheap to spend the money to gain invaluable knowledge then you are missing out on a great education. Some of the owners on this site have years of knowledge and experience behind them. We would all be very happy to help you but not with that attitude. Suit yourself!

After that you said I had a tone? Wow! Well, as I said I have a wait list for classes and I have owned a profitable and successful performing arts studio for over 30 years. I have a lot of experience but don't feel I need to spend $50 for a private message board. I hired a dance instructor for the first time this year because I thought it would be a nice addition to the curriculum on Saturdays when I do not have other classes running. Therefore, the dance costuming is new to me but running a studio I could do with my eyes shut and sound asleep.

So for those who choose to berate me for not joining the other board and to announce that they do not want to answer on this board I understand and appreciate your opinion but there's no need to post a response.
