Gift Guide for Dance Students

Have a bunhead in your life? Check out our holiday gift guide especially for dancers.

Our favorite part of holiday shopping is picking out ideal gifts all the dancers on our lists. Easier said than done! There are so many wonderful options, but it can be hard to narrow it down and make sure the gifts will keep on giving long after Christmas morning. That’s why we put a lot of thought in selecting dance student gift ideas that encourage active, open-ended, child-powered play and growing healthy, well-balanced children and dancers.

The Story Orchestra books are favorites of our dancers to pick out from our little library to read before class. We love them because they tell the story of the ballet and include music by the composers. They are are beautifully illustrated and we have several titles in our boutique – including newly published titles! Come try one out in our shop and see which one will be your dancer’s favorite.

Family Table Topics because children are eager to connect and be a part of the conversation. We love to use share time before class to help the students transition from school to dance and you can do the same thing at home. These prompt cards are perfect to get the family talking around the dinner table.

Help your dancer be independent and responsible for her dance gear with their own ballet bag to carry to and from class. We have an assortment in our studio boutique and you can’t go wrong with handmade items. These beautiful drawstring shoe bags were made made by one of our talented ballet instructors and are just the right size for little hands and their ballet slippers! Speaking of unique handmade items, one of a kind bows from Hibiscus Linens are always a fan favorite. A embroidered ballerina peeking out of a grosgrain bowed ballet bun makes a ballet teacher smile!
