My DS is still trying to decide if he is even wanting to go to the dance due to the cost and no date. He pays for all expenses including ring, ring dance, health insurance, flights home, academy bills, etc. so the cost seems outrageous to me and adding a hotel cost and date (if he gets one) expenses. it gets even higher. He says he thinks he may be able to go to the other events that the ticket purchase covers without paying much but is checking into it. Does anyone know what the cost for the other things are if they do NOT attend ring dance.?
