    Plenty of private ballet studios run by independent instructors who are basically just ex-professionals trying to make ends meet past their prime. I'd say the bigger problem isn't "people setting the prices they can afford" but "professionals setting prices they need to maintain their standards of living plus the exorbitant rents extorted by private commercial real estate companies".

      need to maintain their standards of living

      Well... there could be room for critique here, depending on what standard they're attempting to maintain. And I only say that because of how steeped this particular area is in rich people and their children.

      To be specific, if they're trying to maintain the lifestyle that they became accustomed to while under the wings of their millionaire parents, or something similarly opulent and ostentatious... then I have very little sympathy.

      Other than that, yes, you're correct.

        Sure. I just don't see a lot of people going into "Ballet Instructor" for the money.
