HOW ARE DANCE TEAM COSTS CALCULATED?
We know these feel like big numbers, and it can be frustrating to commit to make payments for the whole year without understanding exactly what you are getting. Here you will find a breakdown of the value of everything that is included in your dance team monthly tuition package and your competition fees package!
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED?
We want to be incredibly upfront about costs. Here’s what’s NOT included above
Privates or solo/duo entry fees if you do a solo/duo etc
Shoes, tights, team jacket, waterbottle, or backpack if you need new ones
Summer camps, classes or intensives
Photos for the first comp (they are pricey and not very good so we skipped the photo package but don’t let us stop you if you want it!)
If you are in a recreational / technique class that performs in the recital (Ballet Barre and Kicks Leaps and Turns does not) there will be a separate Recital fee per class but you get to keep the costumes!
**If we plan a large optional trip to somewhere exciting it will be an optional separate item.
INCENTIVES AND SPECIAL OFFERS
SIBLING DISCOUNTS: All siblings will get 20% all tuition (Dance team tuition, class tuition or theatre tuition) for BOTH siblings. Yes I will honor this even if the two siblings are doing different things, for example one in JT and one in dance team. This does not apply to fixed costs like costumes or comp fees sorry!
• MORE DISCOUNTS FOR MORE TEAMS: If you are a dance fanatic and you are committing to LOTS of teams I want to reduce the price for you. Teams 1-4 are still the same but team # 5 and #6 are only $15 each
• NO CLASS TUITION IN AUGUST FOR ANYONE: August will be a month of team rehearsals only with no regular rec or technique classes until September. Therefore, you will not be charged for regular classes in August, just for the team tuition part. So in total you are paying Team Tuition August - May and Class tuition September - May.
• INCENTIVE: Bring a friend and pay less! I will offer you an incentive! Bring a friend to join us (dance rec classes, dance team, theatre teams, kids theatre etc) must be someone who has never taken class with us before. Have them join us for anything as we grow next year, as long as they put your name under the “how did you hear about us?” question that we will have in the registration for fall they count as yours! Then next spring I will turn 10% of anything they spend on tuition (merch/privates/comp fees etc not included) with us in the 2025-2026 school year into a gift card for you to spend any way you want on Starlight classes, tuition, gifts, comps etc next summer/school year. Bring a lot of friends and you could end up getting everything Starlight for free forever!
WE NEED YOUR HELP
We are working incredibly hard to deliver a quality product for you and still keep prices reasonable for you and manageable for us. In order for us to reduce the base prices this heavily we really are not making a profit off dance team students. We need your help to build our recreational department enough to compensate so we can offer you a TON of classes to use that unlimited program on. Please please please advertise hard for us!
