When it's for our kids, the price/money is always secondry. I had realised it the very day when my daughter was born.

Yeah, $2.5k is shocking to me for it can easily get someone lifetime of dance (or any such) training here. But I can relate it with the inflation there. TBH dance, music and other artistic skills training aren't yet seen as a way of business in India for that's not the culture here. Most of the times learning any art form is either free or very very inexpensive here.

However it pains me that art forms like dance and music aren't encouraged among Indian Children like I see it in the western countries. These days evryone is just focusing on creating more and more doctors and engineers.
