10 Great last-minute gifts every dancer needs
It’s almost Christmas and we’ve all been in that situation where we frantically run around, searching for last-minute presents. For those of you who are currently pulling their hair out trying to think of gifts for the dancer in their life, here are a couple of great ideas – you’re sure to find the perfect one!
Dance Gift Voucher - Energetiks/Bloch/Studio7Dancewear/Capezio – Gift vouchers are great as they allow versatile gift options and can be purchased as E-Vouchers too and can therefore be purchased even on Christmas morning!
Dance leotards/shorts/tops/any other clothing - Energetiks/Bloch/Studio7Dancewear/Capezio – Clothing is a great and unique gift, especially because many dancers have a specific piece of clothing in mind that can be expensive. It’s great seeing someone’s face light up when they receive the dance jacket they’ve been wanting for ages! Besides, it saves some time shopping for back-to-dance class wear later on!
$8 – Stretch/Resistance Bands – Kmart/Energetiks/Bloch – great idea for those who want to get more flexible or simply for some pre-dance warm up. Kmart has a pack of 4 for $8, and is open until 10pm on Christmas eve.
From $35 - Dance Bag – Energetiks/Bloch/Studio7Dancewear/Capezio - Many dance stores have a great range of dance bags that are durable, large, and most importantly, stylish to suit any dancer’s style.
