Convince my parents to do more dance?

Question

Okay so I usually do 10 hours of dance a week but they say sense school is starting I don't need to take as many or more so how do I convince them to let me........and to be in dance company which is expensive and u do 14 hours a week but I really want to do it.

Answer 1

I think the other answers are good on here.

Whoa.. I'm only allowed to take 1 hour a week. (It took all year to convince my parents to let me take 2 hours this year and I have to pay for half!) At least I'll be doing dance this year at school :) But I agree with the people above me.. the report card thing.

Good luck! :)

Answer 2

Make a compromise.  Tell them to give you till your first report card to show them that you can keep yourself dedicated to dance, while still earning good grades.  That usually helps.  Just make sure you keep your grades up.

Answer 3

yah if its too expensive you could offer to pay for some of it (such as the costumes, or all of your shoes, etc.) but company is A LOT of work! in addition to the 14 hours, youll have extra recitals, competitions, etc. plus many extra rehearsals. if your really set on being in company, maybe you could look for other studios with more relaxed companies (less hours/week, etc.) good luck!!!!

Answer 4

14 hours is a lot, I hope you realize the commitment that will take. But I agree with the first person, show them your first report card to convince them that you can do both.

P.S. About the company being expensive, I hate to say that your parents should have the final say on something like that. They know your family budget better than you  probably do.
