Over the weekend (February 23-24) I atteneded a dance convention in Washington D.C. called Monsters of Hip-Hop. There I had the chance to learn from many professional choreographers such as, Jamal Sims, Dave Scott, Rhapsody, Marty Kudelka, Flomaster, etc. I had five hours of class a day for those two days. It was very tiring but worth it in the end. Not only was I able to learn from these inspiring people but I also got each of their autographs.
Since hip-hop is not my preference of dance I took the intermediate class over the advanced because I thought it suited me better. Even though I was in with dancers a lot younger than I, I still had a great time and learned a lot.
The convention provided auditions too, for those who won were awarded scholarships. I tried but did not succeed. I do not care though, I did it for the experience anyway. I have not had that many auditions so this one was good practice and will come in handy for future auditions. Overall I had a lot of fun and learned a lot there and I would recommend this convention to anyone who has a passion for hi-hop. If this is you be sure to check out their website for future tour dates:

I agree. Dancing is very time consuming and expensive. I have been dancing since the age of 3.
My parents pay close to $500 every 6 weeks for ballet classes, and that's without the cost of class attire, costume fees, and other expenses. And then there's always the gas money that adds up driving to and from rehearsals.
And as for time consuming, just this year I had to take 2 months off of my job to make sure I made all mandatory 4 hour rehearsals on weekdays and 6 hour dance rehearsals on weekends for the Nutcracker which was performed at the Weinberg Center for the Arts in December.
Dancing is so much fun though! So it's worth it. :)
