Why prices differ
These examples come from Chicago studios.
Class length matters. Visceral Dance Center prices classes by length: $16 for one hour, $18 for 75 minutes and $20 for 90 minutes.
Location can matter too. DivaDance charges $25 for a single class at Lincoln Park and Lakeview, and $30 at its 606 locations in Logan Square and Avondale.
Who you are can change the price. Ruth Page lists $17 for a standard drop-in, $15 for students and $12 for seniors or professionals, with identification required for discount rates.
Is a class pack worth it?
Work out the price per class and check when the pack expires.
- The Puzzle Box: $150 for 10 classes is $15 per class, compared with a $16 drop-in. The pass has no expiration date.
- Urbanity: $175 for 10 classes is $17.50 per class, compared with a $25 drop-in.
- THE HIVE: $220 for 10 classes is $22 per class. Packs expire after one year.
- Ruth Page: $160 for 10 classes is $16 per class, compared with $17. The card expires 3 months after activation.
If you are trying dance for the first time, a single class is the lower-risk choice. A pack starts to make sense once you know you will go regularly and can use all the classes before they expire.
Other costs to check
Look for first-class offers, such as THE HIVE's $10 first class. Workshops and special classes may also be priced differently from regular classes, so check the booking page before you pay.
