I am 28 years old and have just started ballroom dancing. I have taken different types of dance my whole life (incl. ballet, jazz, tap, etc) and my goal is to eventually compete. I know that I want to do this, its been my dream since the days of Dance Fever with Denny Terrio. Anyway, as far as cost is concerned, how often do you need to train one on one to become exceptional enough to compete? Right now I am taking several group classes and its hurting my pocketbook as it is! Can anyone give me some ballpark figures?

Any input would be helpful!
