How much does it typically cost to have a solo choreographed?
That’s going to depend on so many factors it’s hard to give an estimate. If you have someone in mind, I’d just ask. If you don’t, I’d ask at your studio.
Wouldn’t your dance teacher be the best person to ask to help, especially as it’s good for the studio if students go onto college level dance? D18 took one of her competition/performance solos and cut it herself, then cleaned it with her teacher. We videoed it ourselves. So we didn’t spend anything (though I think the original competition choreography was a couple of hundred dollars plus lessons to learn it). I think she prepped two solos (modern and ballet) but only needed to video one of them as the other was live audition only.
Similar to the above, DD used a variation she’d already learned and had her teacher help her run it and clean it up. We’ve never had to hire a choreographer as that’s always been part of what her studio offered.
