I'm not insistent at learning from a studio but I don't know where else I could learn on a consistent basis other than a studio. If you have any ideas then please shoot, I am open to everything. I'm just looking for something I can afford to pay. If I knew of other opportunities to learn from legitimate swing dancer outside of the studio, then I'd jump on it. Swing is a street dance; I could care less how formal or informal the environment is just so long as the instructors are legit swing dancers. So your assumption is wrong. But right now, the only place I know that teaches lindy on a regular basis is this one studio.

Also, plenty of informal hip hop studios offer scholarship opportunities for low income dancers. Running a studio ain't cheap, no shit. But if you're a successful studio and have a strong business model, then you can help people in your community by offering scholarship programs to those that qualify whether it is income based and with or without an audition. Many studios that teach other genres of dance offer scholarship programs. If you want too argue about this, then you're just flat out wrong. There is opportunity for low income people but just not in swing it seems, at least not if they want to get to a competitive level and not just a hobby level. So I just don't understand why the studios that teach mainly swing don't offer some form of a scholarship program to award low income students that express need. This would only go to the students that are need based and qualify. If the studio receives too many applicants and only can afford to give a certain number of scholarships, then they could also hold auditions for those students like a lot of other studios do.
