Adult Private Lessons - Reasonable/Average Cost?

[Guest elgra]

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or guidance about what a 'reasonable'/average cost for private ballet lessons as an adult would be? I am willing to invest for quality training but am always get a bit nervous when anything seems expensive even if I know the cost is worth it. (For context I am finding it difficult to find an appropriate level of ballet class at a convenient time in my local area so am considering taking online live classes, and supplementing these with a monthly or fortnightly private lesson, depending on cost, to really focus on correcting and advancing my technique). Thanks.

I applaud your focus and determination. I know from experience but for the younger dancer, prices do vary quite considerably mainly based on two factors.
Does the teacher already have their own studio so will have already created a timetable with vacancies for private lessons, costs are therefore based on  the teachers time or will they be hiring a studio space specifically for the private lesson. The latter being the more costly one as you will be covering the hiring costs AND that of the teachers time etc. 

Sorry I cannot actually give you a £ cost as geographical location will also be a factor. ie small town v’s London.
