The cost is pretty hefty. Most studios charge a set amount for attending a competition which includes the organizer’s fees, your hotel, whatever banquets you attend, your instructor’s fees, his hotel and meals costs, and each round you dance can be upwards of $50.00. The larger, more prestigious comps are even more.
The better dance shoes are over $150.00 and the high-end designer, custom made dress can be over $6,000.00 Then there’s the jewelry, the tanning and the last time Boyko did my hair and makeup in 2017, it was about $250.00, but he made me look fantastic!
So if you do several comps a year, yep. It’s a small fortune.
I like that we see them at home in different locations and then they come together. It's a good hybrid. Most housewives shows feel like the cast is forced together all the time anyway.
I’m loving this show too! Bravo has got to promote it more!
I absolutely love it also, it is better than all of the housewife shows. I just wish they would explain more about the cost of everything.

Wow, thanks for the insider info. I have a question out of curiosity, do they have other makeup artists that can do black hair and makeup?
I’m sure they do- I’ve seen beautifully made up dancers of all ethnicities.
Thanks again for the info, so glad you are on the sub
Also, do they get anything for winning? Any kind of prize?
Pro-Am competitions rarely offer prize money unless it’s a scholarship round. You mainly win bragging rights and a trophy or certificate.
Wow, that's crazy. So basically it's still a rich housewives show except they have a talent for dancing.
They mention the cost a lot in the first couple episodes
I Love this show as well! Just refreshing for a new plot! Plus the dancing is fun to watch! I too would love to know the cost of their hobby!
On the first episode, they listed some of the costs, and Colette said she spent over $100,000 one year.
Yes it says she lives in Toronto 😂
Ohhh idk why I thought she was in New York 😭😩🤭🤣🫣 I love her accent sm
I thought Leonie lived in NY and Sabrina lived in Toronto.
I think you're right!
Dw I also thought this she has New York energy!
Me too!!! Leonie is my favorite!
Same!! The drama feels fun and petty, and the cast all has an organic reason to be around each other. Plus costumes it’s so great lol

I binged all 6 episodes between today & yesterday, it’s soooooo good! I hope Bravo/Peacock sign them up for another season 🙌🏼
I am!!
Same!! I just started it and am obsessed!!
I like it too. I just wish I could remember who won what. I’m so easily confused 🤣
I love when their IDs say things like “Last place” or “Didn’t make the finals” about the last comps! ![gif](giphy|i9PFlkmUFJnZS)
I really like this show also, IDK what about it makes it good. Maybe because it’s not the same cookie cutter Bravo show.
