My kids have not personally done either of these, but I did consider them, but like you said they are sooooooooo expensive and I always thought if we had to miss one weekend because of a party etc, you have lost that £25.00, plus it does take a big chunk out of your saturday and makes it difficult to go out for the day on the spur of the moment.
We opted instead for Helen o'grady drama academy, its probably not as good and they only do the drama bit but I think it was a good way to see if they enjoyed that kind of thing and if so maybe move on the the stagecoach type places when your daughter is a little older, or maybe just look at better dance schools in your area if that is what your daughter is showing an interest in.
