Question for Parents? Choreography fees?

Just wondering what others are paying for optional level floor and beam routines? We just paid $150 for each....of course, the music was an additional cost

My floor routine was $135, which I think is a lot less expensive than most. Beam routines are $50 but I'm just going to make up my own - that's allowed at my gym but I don't think it's too common. And my music is free because it was used by someone at my gym 3 or 4 years ago and she just gave me the cd.

The choreographer at my gym charges $250 or $300, I can't remember. But it was way too much money for a routine I'll use for a year or two, so I just kept my old routine!

When DD got her L7 routine last summer we paid $350 for 2 hours + cost of music.

Nothing, the head coach does the routines and provides the music. Her hubby is a musician and he seems to have a never ending supply of great music. The girls make up their own beam routines with help from the coaches.

The girls get a new routine every two years, the girls from about L4 all have their own routines, though the younger ones often get recycled routines from the older girls.

We pay $250 for choreography and music.

Floor routine last year was $230 plus music. Even though it was more expensive than I would have liked, the choreography was very good and since the choreographer lives in the area, she would stop by the gym and watch all the girls she had done routines for about 1x/month(no charge for that). Beam was $70---again a very nice job on the choreo

We pay $100 for the floor routine + music. My coach does all the choreography and she also does the beam routines for free.

My DD is getting her first floor routine in a couple weeks. We are paying $250 for choreography + 3hrs. She is using music from another girl from our gym from last year so we get a break in that respect.

Floor routines usually cost between the $300-$325 range. In my opinion, that is crazy! Beam routines are made up by either the coaches or the gymnasts themselves. In the past we have had gymnasts make up their own routines for floor and it worked out fine. All those years of dance paid off for some!
