Ballet in Chicago, IL

Hello Mary, My name is Belle and I am contacting you in regards to ballet instruction. I have been trying to find a private ballet instructor, that does not work for a company in Chicago for a few months now and this is the first I have. I currently live in San Diego but will be moving back to Chicago in late August/September. I am in love with ballet but due to my up bringing, financially, was not able to take classes. I am now 19 years old and attempting to jump into it. I have 12 years training in cheerleading/gymnastics as well as many other sports. I am in great physical condition, flexibility and strength wise. What I am looking for is someone to work with me on a one on one basis six days a week from anywhere of 20 hours a week to about 30 hours a week. I know that many instructors charge 40 to 80 an hour but is there any reduction when it comes to a person who would be guaranteed every day? I make a little over 600 a week and am only able to pay around 300 a week. I know that, that is much less than what is expected from private lessons and I am not, by any means, degrading the art. I would just love the opportunity and know that I would be a great student. If this sounds completely unreasonable, do you know of anyone who would be willing to work with me? Potentially a college student, majoring in dance or anything along those lines. If you could please help me out with some information that would be amazing. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Belle
