Welcome to the season of gift giving! Are you one of those really ahead of the game shoppers who are pretty much all WRAPPED up(hehe) or are you still having a hard time figuring out what to get your loved ones? Either way, we have done the research for you and gathered the perfect gift selections for your dancer. From books and clothes to dance tools and accessories, we got you covered!
Don’t want to go very far? We have a couple perfect stocking stuffer options for you right here at Prestige! Highlighters ($5), youth, toddler, and adult socks ($12), rhinestone decals ($15), and colorful bows ($5) will all fit very nicely in your dancer’s stocking and you can pick them up while your dancer is in class- they will never know!
Books:
“Firebird” by Misty Copeland and Christopher Myers is great for dancers 5 and up. Not only are the pictures beautiful but it is a powerful story about following your dreams! Bonus: you can always pick up the Misty Copeland Barbie Doll to go along with it (but last we checked they were sold out until January).
“Life in Motion” by Misty Copeland for dancers 8-12 yrs. Written by the first African-American principal dancer in the American Ballet Theatre, Copeland provides an inspiring story about following your dreams and never giving up.
“Dancers Among Us: A Celebration of Joy in the Everyday” by Jordan Matter has the most amazing photographs of dancers dancing in everyday moments. Although it is great for all ages- this book may be more appreciated by the older dancer (12+).
Accessories and Clothes:
Just Dance Bangle Bracelet from the AdelineQuinnCo shop on Etsy is super cute, simple and represents what we do every day.
Holiday Muscle Tee from Covet Dance is beyond clever. I mean- Dancer the reindeer is everyone’s favorite right?? Warning- These look like they are selling quick so put your order in soon.
Dance Backpack from Pottery Barn Kids is adorable. Ballerinas and sparkles all over! They have a couple different sizes with a monogram option.
Dancer Tools:
Turning Board by Ballet is Fun is a great tool to practice those turns! It helps dancers become more aware of spotting, core strength, and arm placement.
Arch Stretcher by Arch Genie has so many different colors and fabrics to choose from, you will definitely find one your dancers will like! It is the perfect tool to work those arches.
#WorkHardDreamBig Resistance Band will motivate your dancers all while stretching and strengthening them, can’t beat that.
Foot Rubz Massager by Sure Foot is a treat after a long hard day of dance!
Performance Repair Kit will ease your mind for all of our performances coming up. You will never have to worry about a tear or rip again with this handy kit.
Small Knee Support by Bunheads are my favorite kneepads! They have comfortable fabric and silicone pads, great for those hard rehearsals.
Tap/Turning Floor by Dot2Dance is so amazing for practicing at home, it is a small portable dance floor.
The Original Ballet Foot Stretch is a bit more of an investment than the other arch stretcher but is a great gift.
Stretch Max by Superior Stretch is awesome! It really allows you to focus on alignment while increasing flexibility.
