Dance team yearbook: your whole dance group in one book
Children's dance, a hip-hop crew or a ballet class: a dance team yearbook is your group's own book, in which every dancer gets their own double-page spread with two photos and their own answers, and so does the dance teacher. One book costs €24.90 including design, printing and shipping, €22.90 from 3 groups in one order and €19.90 from 5 groups. The books reach you 5 to 7 working days after the last answers and payments.
The book, the questionnaire and our WhatsApp support are in German. Other languages and shipping to other countries on request.
What goes into the dance team yearbook?
Everyone gets two photos, ideally one in their stage outfit and one from everyday life, plus a name, a signature, four short details with icons and their answers. We adapt the questions to your group. Dance groups ask things like:
- How did you get into dancing?
- Which routine do you love dancing most, and which step has been the hardest so far?
- What happens backstage in the minutes before you go on?
- Where is your place in the formation?
- What is typical of your coach?
In children's dance, the parents fill in the questionnaire, ideally together with their child. Photos and answers are used only for the book; more on this under Children's photos and data protection.
What else is in the book
- a shared cover picture made from your cut-out photos, on a background you choose
- the group photo
- awards such as “Always counts out loud” or “Best freestyle”
- a double-page spread for special moments like the big show
- two double-page spreads for signatures and messages
- at least 4 blank spreads for friends and family to write in
- up to 4 sponsor pages, included in the price, and sponsor logos on the back cover
It is printed as a landscape A5 hardcover on 170 g/m² paper that you can write on with a ballpoint pen. The cover can say “Tanzbuch” (dance book), “Freundebuch” (what Germans call a book like this) or the name of your group.
Dance teacher gifts: a book from the whole group
A dance teacher knows every strength and every favourite move in her group. The book shows what the group thinks of her: on their own spread, everyone can tell her what they have learnt from her. If she is leaving, it becomes a leaving gift; more in the guide Coach leaving gift. You will find more coach gifts by occasion under Gifts for coaches.
A gift for the dance group
The group also gives the book to itself: anyone who moves to another group after the big show takes every routine, slip-up and favourite move along. The minimum order is 10 books, but not everyone in the book has to buy one.
Do you do carnival guard dance or cheerleading?
Then there are better-suited questions. Guard dancers in carnival clubs will find their page under Carnival guard dance coach gift, with questions about the carnival season. Cheerleading teams, cheer dance and pom included, can read on under Cheerleading coach gift.
Your dance team yearbook in three steps
- Enquiring takes 2 minutes. You then get the link via WhatsApp.
- You share the link in your group chat, or the parents' group chat for children. Everyone answers the questions on their phone in about 5 minutes and uploads two photos. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays an overview of who is still missing arrives on WhatsApp.
- Once all the answers are in and every book is paid for, the books are designed and printed. They reach you after 5 to 7 working days.
When is the right time for your dance group?
Best of all after the performance everyone has worked towards for months: the spread for special moments records how it went. Another good moment is the move up to the next age group, when the group splits up in its current form. At the end of the year the book makes a thank-you for the dance teacher; there is a timeline and more ideas in the guide Christmas gifts for coaches.
What does your dance group pay per book?
The price is per book and drops when several groups order together. Design, printing and shipping to Germany and Austria are included.
- 1 to 2 groups
- €24.90
- from 3 groups
- €22.90
- from 5 groups
- €19.90
A book holds 8 to 42 people, and coaches count too. The minimum order is 10 books. Everyone pays for themselves with a payment link, or one person pays for everyone by invoice within 14 days. You can't cancel, because every book is designed individually.
Questions from dance groups
Does the book work for a dance school rather than a club?
Yes. Dance schools pay the same price per book. Each class that gets its own book counts as one group for the price tiers.
Our class changes every term. Who goes in the book?
That's up to you: whoever gets the link and fills in the questionnaire is in the book. You can invite former members who still belong. A book holds 8 to 42 people.
Does the book suit an adult group too?
Yes. Adults need different questions from children, and the title and questions can be adapted. Tell us in your enquiry who dances in your group.
How do we keep the book a surprise for our coach?
Share the link in a group chat she isn't in, or the parents' group chat for children. She won't have her own spread then, but everyone can say something to her on theirs.
