Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get Bright Stars Dance into my centre?

Simple — just get in touch! You can call, email, or fill out the contact form and Amanda will get back to you personally. We’ll have a chat about your centre, your children’s age groups, and how the program would work in your space. From there, we’ll arrange a free trial class so you and your team can see the program in action before committing to anything.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No lock-in contracts here. We work with centres on an ongoing basis and believe the program should speak for itself — which is exactly why we offer a free, no-obligation trial class first.

How much does the program cost for our centre?

We offer two pricing models depending on what works best for your centre:

Centre-pays model:

$140 per hour, charged directly to the centre. The number of children per class is unlimited under this model, though we recommend a maximum of 20 children per class to maintain the quality, warmth, and personal attention that Bright Stars Dance is known for. Once we exceed 20-25 children in a room we recommend splitting the class into 2 smaller groups.

If your organisation operates more than one location and you’d like to book Bright Stars Dance across multiple sites per week, we’re happy to discuss a discount — just ask Amanda when you get in touch.

Parent-pays model:

  • Toddler & preschool classes (30 mins): $11 per child
  • Baby classes (20 mins): $8.50 per child

We’re happy to talk through which model suits your centre best

How long are the classes?

  • Baby classes: 20 minutes
  • Toddler & preschool classes (ages 1–6): 30 minutes

Classes are designed to be perfectly paced for young children’s attention spans — active, engaging, and never too long.

Do your teachers have Working With Children Checks?

Absolutely. All Bright Stars Dance teachers hold current Working With Children Checks (WWCC) and are police cleared. All our teachers have completed the National Child Safety training that is mandatory for all people working in an ECEC service. Your children’s safety is non-negotiable for us, and all compliance requirements are taken care of before any teacher steps into your centre.

How are your teachers trained?

This is something we’re genuinely proud of. Because Bright Stars Dance is a boutique program — not a large franchise or corporate activity provider — every single teacher is personally trained and mentored by Amanda, our founder and principal dance teacher. Amanda has 20 years of experience teaching dance and music to young children, and that knowledge and care flows directly into how she prepares every teacher on the team. You won’t get a different experience depending on who turns up — the standard is consistently high because Amanda makes sure of it.

What do you need from us as a centre?

Not much at all! We’re a fully mobile dance program — we bring everything with us. All we need is a clear space large enough for the children to move around comfortably (a hall, indoor play area, or large room works perfectly) and for the children to be ready to go at the agreed class time. That’s it.

My child’s daycare or early learning centre doesn’t have Bright Stars Dance yet. Can I request it?

Yes, and we love when this happens! Have a chat with your centre director and point them our way — or feel free to share our details directly. We’re always excited to meet new centres, and a recommendation from a parent carries a lot of weight.

What ages is the program suitable for?

We run two programs to cover a wide range of ages:

  • Bright Stars Mini Movers is designed for children aged 1–6 (before school age). We run separate baby classes and toddler and preschool classes, so the content, pace, and style is always tailored to where your child is developmentally.
  • Bright Stars Centre Stage is designed for primary school aged children from 5–12, with content and movement styles that grow with them.

In both programs, every class is age-appropriate, thoughtfully structured, and genuinely fun.

What actually happens in a class?

Every class is a little adventure! Lessons are dance-based and woven through with yoga, mindfulness, drama, and imaginative play. Think props, musical instruments, movement games, and stories that carry children off on underwater explorations or trips to magical faraway lands. It’s joyful, nurturing, and genuinely fun — and it’s all carefully designed to support your child’s development at the same time. Each lesson is built around the same structure and routine but every week is a new activity. This allows children to feel comfortable and confident that they know how the class will run, but not get bored with repetition week to week.

Is my child going to be okay if they’re shy or slow to warm up?

Absolutely. Our teachers are trained to meet every child exactly where they are. There’s no pressure to perform, no spotlight moments that might feel overwhelming, and no child ever made to feel left out. Many of the children who have blossomed most in our program started out as the quietest ones in the room — that’s one of the things we love most about what we do.

How much does it cost for my child to participate?

If your centre uses the parent-pays model, classes are:

  • $11 per child for toddler and preschool classes (30 mins)
  • 50 per child for baby classes (20 mins)

Payment and enrolment is managed directly by us — just get in touch with Amanda and we’ll take care of everything from there.

Can I book a Bright Stars Dance Party for my child’s birthday?

You sure can! Bright Stars Dance Parties is our mobile birthday entertainment package, bringing all the magic of our Mini Movers program to your party — plus dance games and karaoke with microphones. It’s a brilliant way to celebrate a little one’s big day. Head to our Dance Parties page or get in touch to find out more.
