How to get the most from a Starbrite virtual class

Internet

Check your Internet speed and where possible connect your device directly to your router via a cable if your wi-fi is unstable.

Space

Make space and move any furniture or ornaments that may get in the way. We want to protect your items as well as the performers.

Screen

Ideally you want to stream the lesson on the biggest screen possible, which in many cases will be your television. Check your device so see whether this can be done with a wire or wirelessly.

Connect

If you are using a laptop or computer with a HDMI, DVI, or VGA output, try connecting it to your television via one of these cables.

Mirroring

If you are using a mobile device, use mirroring or AirPlay to your television from your tablet or phone.

Camera

Turn your camera on and leave it switched on. Position it so we can see all of your child. This will keep the children safe and give the teachers peace of mind.

Time

The Zoom waiting room for all Starbrite lessons is usually open 5-10 minutes prior to the lesson starting. This gives you time to set up your space, check that everything is working and get excited about your virtual learning.

Distractions

Where possible remove distractions or if you're using your phone turn off notifications. We appreciate that children are excited so we have incorporated show and tell time within each lesson to allow them to interact with the teachers.

Tech Issues

If you have any questions or are having trouble connecting to your virtual lesson then give the Starbrite team a call. They are available throughout all live classes to hopefully get you connected quickly. Call 01430 803170. Sending a social media message or email may result in a delayed response.

Name

To help us identify who is joining and taking part in the virtual class, please use at least the first name (and optionally the last name) of the main participant. Please avoid using nicknames or names which belong to the parent or carer.

Uniform

We encourage members to attend classes wearing their Starbrite uniform appropriate for the subject or something suitable for performing in. Dance shoes are also essential. This will help prepare the mind set of what they are learning and will reduce the risk of injury. Slippers and fluffy socks, though cosy, are not permitted for dancing in.

Resources

Don’t forget to send us your photos and videos either via email to or by sending it in a private message to either our Facebook or Instagram pages so we can share our students' success stories.
