Light-Up LED Pom Poms
Metallic streamers with LEDs built into the pom, a rechargeable pack, and one remote that changes the whole team’s color at once.
$145 USD per pair
For studio owners adding a pom team in 2027: our light-up pom poms give the new team a look no other category in your studio has, at showcase, recital and studio events, with the remote switching every dancer together. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs, one set the studio owns.
What does a studio need to start a pom team for 2027?
Four things: dancers, a coach who knows pom technique, a practice slot and a matched set of poms. The category is well established in all-star dance; USASF’s 2026–27 dance rules list Pom as a competition category alongside Jazz, Hip Hop, Contemporary/Lyrical, Kick and Variety (source: USASF Dance Rules 2026–27). In a pom routine the poms are what the audience watches, so they deserve the same thought as the costume.
For a studio, a new team is also a business decision: a new class on the schedule, a new costume order and a new line on the competition fee sheet. A set of light-up LED pom poms gives that team a look no other category in the studio has, and it keeps working at showcase, recital and community events between competitions. See light-up pom poms for every kind of team for how school and club teams use the same set.

The 2027 dates a new studio pom team plans around
| 2027 date | Event | What the new team should have by then |
|---|---|---|
| January 29–31 | NDA All-Star National Championship | Choreography set, and poms in rehearsal if you compete this early |
| March 12–14 | UCA & UDA All Star National Championship | Costumes and poms checked together under stage lights |
| April 30–May 2 | The Dance Summit | A showcase planned for dancers who aren’t traveling |
| Your spring recital | Studio recital | A pom number in the finale or the team’s own spot |
| Summer | Studio camp or intensive | Auditions for next season’s pom team |
National dates are from Varsity’s published 2026–27 list (source: Varsity TV 2026–27 event list). If your team enters regional events closer to home, add them to the same table and work back from the first one. Get the poms early enough that dancers rehearse with the real set, not with practice poms of a different weight and length.
How many dancers, and how many pairs?
Build the first team from dancers already in the studio, and size it to what your strongest age group can fill. Order one pair per dancer plus one or two spares for injuries and dancers who join mid-season. A 12-dancer team with two spares is 14 pairs, $1,680; a 16-dancer team with two spares is 18 pairs, $2,160. Of the 54 teams that applied to us this fall, the median request was 17 pairs.
Decide early who owns the set. If the studio buys it, the poms stay with the program when dancers age out, and the set covers recital and showcase too. If you fold it into the team fee, it is $120 per dancer, one time, and the poms go home with the dancer at the end of the season. If you plan to grow the team, keep the set studio-owned; adding pairs to a set is simpler than rebuilding one.
Light-up poms or metallic poms for the competition routine?
Check the event before you choreograph. Each competition producer sets its own rules, and USASF’s dance rules give coaches a route for questions: an item you are unsure about, and how it is used in the routine, can be submitted through the USASF Coach App for a ruling before you compete (source: USASF Dance Rules 2026–27). Studio competitions run by other producers publish their own rulebooks, so email the producer and keep the reply.
You may end up with both: a metallic set for the scored routine if that event calls for it, and the light-up set for everything the studio controls, from showcase and recital to exhibitions, community events and social content. Our dance team pom poms guide and metallic vs. LED pom poms compare the two.
Colors, costumes and the remote
Choose the pom color with the costume, not after it. The streamers come in ten metallic colors, including purple, hot pink and teal, and the full-color LEDs set the light. A studio without school colors can pick anything, and the remote means the poms aren’t locked to one choice: the whole team switches together from white to the costume color to a rainbow finish. One pair can also run two colors, the raised pom in one and the low pom in the other, which suits a two-tone costume.
Each pom has diodes built in among metallic streamers and weighs 7 oz. The battery pack on the handle charges by USB-C, with a red light while charging, and a charge runs 3 to 4 hours (white and rainbow use more). Our setup videos walk a new coach through the W, MODE and AUTO buttons before the first rehearsal.
Where the new team performs between competitions
A pom team that only performs at competitions gets a handful of stage minutes a year. Give it more. Put the team in the recital finale; our recital finale plan builds a lights-down number around it. Book it for the studio showcase, a holiday performance and local parades and festivals, where community squads use the same kind of set on the street. If your studio runs adult classes, an adult pom group can borrow the set; adult cheer and dance teams covers what those groups book.
Every one of those performances is also recruiting. Younger dancers watch the pom team on a dark stage, colors switching on the count, and ask their parents how to join.
How do we order for the studio?
The owner signs off, and the order is paid from the studio’s operating account or from the team fee. Send us the date of the first performance, the costume colors and the number of dancers. We make the poms ourselves, and our team pricing page explains how a team order works.
Apply with your studio name, the date of your first showcase or competition, your costume colors and how many dancers are on the team. We make the poms ourselves and will tell you plainly what fits your date. Team pricing is $120 a pair on 10 or more pairs.
Frequently asked questions
What is your team pricing for a studio pom team?
$120 a pair on 10 or more pairs. A 14-pair set for a 12-dancer team with two spares is $1,680.
Can we get the poms in our costume colors?
Yes. The remote sets every pom to one color at once, and a pair can be split into two colors to match a two-tone costume.
How do the light-up poms work?
Each pom has LED diodes built in. A USB-C battery pack on the handle runs 3 to 4 hours per charge, and the remote switches every pom in range: W for white, MODE to step colors, AUTO for the rainbow.
Can we use light-up poms in a competition pom routine?
Check the event’s rules and ask the producer first. For USASF events, coaches can submit an item and how it is used through the USASF Coach App for a ruling.
Can we get them in time for our first showcase?
Send the showcase date with your application. We will tell you plainly what fits that date.
Can younger dancers use them?
Yes. Each pom weighs 7 oz. Adults should handle charging and keep the remote; younger dancers just hold and perform.
