- One on one or shared with one or two other dancers? With qualified TCRG? I know the studio we hire our hall from charges $50 an hour for the studio and then the TCRG would have to pay herself for an hour on top of that, so maybe $75 - $80 an hour all up for a one on one? (NT) -- -, Wed, May 15 2013, 19:11:19"
  - One on one for an hour disregarding dance space costs (NT) -- op, Wed, May 15 2013, 22:46:48"
    - With a TCRG it depends on what they pay themselves for an hour. I would say minimum $30 an hour up to $50 or whatever that particular TC thinks they are worth and if they pay tax on it. If it's cash under the table it should be less than if they are declaring it on their tax because they could be losing up to half of it in tax if they declare it, especialy if it is an official second job, the tax rate is higher. (NT) -- -, Thu, May 16 2013, 7:50:36"
- I charge $25/half hour (NT) -- TC, Thu, May 16 2013, 7:28:05"
- $60 an hour. (NT) -- tc, Thu, May 16 2013, 8:47:30"
  - $15 for 15 mins one-on one, $15 for 30 mins when lesson shared between 2, or $15 per 45 min when lesson shared between 3, NSW, no rental costs involved, TCRG teaching! (NT) -- DM, Thu, May 16 2013, 11:21:22"
    - So $60 an hour then. (NT) -- -, Thu, May 16 2013, 11:49:20"
      - Yes, although if one on one only 15 minutes are offered (NT) -- DM, Thu, May 16 2013, 22:25:44"
- $55 an hour, $35 for a half hour. Spilt down the middle if 2 dancers or 3 ways for 3 dancers. (NT) -- tcrg, Thu, May 16 2013, 14:56:59"
- Wow that's pricey! My school is only $20 for an hour one on one! (NT) -- Dancer, Sat, May 18 2013, 10:46:22"
