If you're a dancer looking to update your portfolio, prepare for auditions, or create professional images that showcase your technique and artistry, one of the first questions you probably have is: What are the dance photography prices Toronto?

Dance photography prices vary depending on the photographer, the length of the session, the number of final images, and the creative setup involved. In Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), finding a photographer who understands movement, lighting, and the unique needs of dancers can make a significant difference.

At Alex Rojas Photography, Dance Movement Sessions start at $250 and are designed to help dancers create professional images that reflect their individual style, movement, and abilities.



Dance Photography Prices in Toronto: What Does a Session Include?

The cost of a dance photography session depends on what you want to achieve. A shorter studio session focused on a few carefully planned images will have different requirements than a larger portfolio session with multiple outfits, backgrounds, and lighting setups.

When comparing dance photography packages, it's important to look at what is actually included in the price.


Consider:

  • Session time: How long will you have with the photographer?

  • Final images: How many professionally edited photographs will you receive?

  • Studio setup: Is professional lighting and a prepared studio space included?

  • Creative direction: Will the photographer help with posing and movement?

  • Additional options: Can you add headshots, additional images, or other setups?


Understanding what's included can help you choose a session that fits both your goals and your budget.


Our Entry-Level Dance Photography Package: $250

The Dance Movement Session is our entry-level dance photography experience for dancers who want professional studio images without committing to a larger portfolio package.

Starting at $250, the session includes:

  • 30 minutes of photography

  • 5 professionally edited final images

  • 1 lighting and background setup

  • Professional photography studio in Vaughan, Ontario


The session is designed around you as a dancer. We can create images that highlight your technique, movement, personality, and artistic style.

Whether you're a ballet dancer, contemporary dancer, jazz dancer, gymnast, or another movement-based artist, the session can be tailored to your goals.

The Vaughan studio also features high ceilings, providing plenty of space for extensions, jumps, and dynamic movement.


Who Is a Dance Movement Session For?

A Dance Movement Session can be a great option if you:

  • Want to update your dance portfolio

  • Need professional images for auditions

  • Want new photographs for your website or social media

  • Are building your first professional dance portfolio

  • Want to create creative images that showcase your movement

  • Need professional photographs that represent your personal style

You don't have to be a professional dancer to book a session. Whether you're creating your first portfolio or refreshing an existing one, the goal is to create photographs that represent you as an artist.


Can I Add Headshots to My Dance Photography Session?

Yes. Headshots can be added to your Dance Movement Session if you'd like to create both movement photographs and professional portraits during your studio visit.

Available options include:

Individual Headshot — $75

A professional headshot can be added to your session when you need a simple portrait alongside your dance images.

Three-Headshot Bundle — $150

The three-headshot bundle includes three professional headshots and adds an additional 30 minutes to your session.

This can be useful for dancers who need both movement photographs and updated portraits for auditions, social media, websites, or professional profiles.


Why Invest in Professional Dance Photography?

Your photographs are an important part of how you present yourself as a dancer.

A strong dance portfolio can help communicate your technique, versatility, personality, and artistic identity to choreographers, companies, casting professionals, and potential collaborators.

Professional dance photography also gives you greater control over how your work is presented. Instead of relying only on performance photographs or phone pictures, you can create images with intentional lighting, composition, movement, and direction.

The right photograph should do more than show a pose. It should help communicate who you are as a dancer.
