Pricing & Membership Update 2025

Value For Money in 2025 & Beyond!

Effective January 01, 2025

From the 1st of January, 2025, Long-Steps will introduce updated prices for our services, and a revised set of terms and conditions regarding paid memberships.

Long-Steps remains committed to providing the best quality services for the lowest possible prices. We strive hard to make dancing accessible to everyone and provide a wide range of opportunities for all our dancers. Unfortunately, from time to time, service prices as well as deals and specials, must be adjusted to suit the ever rising cost of doing business, and the increasing experience and qualifications of our growing team.

What is Changing?

  • All Dance Classes will be standardised to 55 minute durations, with additional classes being offered on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

  • 4 Week Dance Courses will be introduced for Urban, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Performance, and some Ballroom styles.

  • All 4 Week Dance Courses will require a minimum number of bookings before being confirmed, and upfront payment from the dancer.

  • The Casual Membership, Casual Plus Membership, and Loyalty Cards will discontinued.

  • The Scan ‘n’ Save facility will be introduced and delivered via the Long-Steps App.

  • All Standard Private Tuition Sessions will increase from $75 to $79 per session.

  • All Premium Private Tuition Sessions will increase from $90 to $99 per session.

  • All Standard and Premium Memberships benefits will be delivered via the Scan ‘n’ Save facility on a per session basis.

  • Couples and families will now have the option to be linked via their Scan ‘n’ Save Student ID numbers to enable all parties access to the Scan ‘n’ Save benefits for Standard and Premium Memberships.

Example 1 - Bob & Margarete (the do-it-all kinda couple)

Bob and Margarete are on a Standard Membership with the Casual Plus option. Bob and Margarete have been getting a private tuition session each week for $75, and for an extra $15 have both been getting access to Long-Steps Dancing’s classes and Friday night social dances. From the 1st of January, Bob and Margarete will pay $79 for the private tuition session, but they will no longer pay $15 for the Casual Plus option as it is being discontinued. Bob and Margarete have also chosen to have their Scan ‘n’ Save Student ID numbers linked to enable them to share the benefits of their Standard Membership. From the 1st of January, Bob and Margarete will receive two FREE scan ins between them as part of their Standard Membership, the third scan in will be charged at $15, and ever scan in after that will be charged at $10.

In the example of Bob and Margarete above, they will see a weekly increase of $4 in the price of their private lesson compared to their current payment. They will also receive three class or social admissions for no extra charge compared to their current payment, and will retain the option to attend as many more classes and socials as they like for 50% of the usual admission fee. Bob and Margarete will also be gifted a 25% discount on all 4 Week Dance Courses.

Example 2 - Colin & Renee (the lesson only kinda couple)

Colin & Renee are on a Standard Membership and have been getting a private tuition session each week for the current price of $75. Colin & Renee are very busy people and like to dance with each other, but aren’t the type to come to classes or social dances except on the odd occasion. From the 1st of January Colin & Renee will pay $79 for their private lesson. However, Colin & Renee have chosen not to attend regular classes or socials and have decided not to download the Long-Steps Dancing app and set up Scan ‘n’ Save. Colin & Renee understand that they can still attend Long-Steps Dancing classes and socials, but will both be required to pay full price at-the-door for any classes or socials they attend. Colin and Renee also understand that they can access the Scan ‘n’ Save benefits at any stage if their circumstances change by downloading the app and setting up the Scan ‘n’ Save feature with a Long-Steps instructor.

In the example of Colin & Renee above, they will see a weekly increase of $4 compared with their current payments, but will not receive any discounts in the absence of a functional Long-Steps Scan ‘n’ Save feature.

What is NOT Changing?

  • All Dance Classes will remain at $20 per dancer for pay-at-the-door customers

  • All Friday night and Saturday night social dances will remain at $20 per dancer for pay-at-the-door customers, excluding special events and live music events.

  • All payment flexibility options will remain in place with no added fees or surcharges*

* Long-Steps is committed to making our fees and charges as simple as possible. We provide payment options for our dancers so they can choose how best to access our services within their budget and lifestyle. All fees, and charges associated with providing these options is incorporated into the service price. Long-Steps does not, and has no intention of, adding additional charges at the register that are dependent on your choice of payment. The price you see is the price you pay.
