It’s that wonderful time of the year! And when we often find ourselves shopping for friends and family. If one of your friends or family members is a dancer, and you’re not quite sure what to get them, you’re in luck! We’ve assembled a list of some great gift ideas for dancers this holiday season. There’s definitely something you can find for your little dancer, whether that your daughter, son, niece or nephew, or maybe even your parents!
A New Foam Roller
Foam rollers make great gifts for dancers!
Dancers love foam rollers! Basically, dancers use foam rollers almost every day to “iron out” and increase blood flow to their muscles. This allows muscles to relax and recover more quickly, allowing them to dance to their fullest potential. There are many different foam rollers available, but luckily its a one size fits all, making a foam roller a great choice for a gift idea for a dancer any time of the year.
Foam rollers run anywhere from $5 to $50 dollars and come in a variety of styles, but they all generally serve the same purpose of allowing a dancer to roll out and recover more quickly.
If you’re looking for a foam roller for a dancer, we highly recommend the classic 13-inch roller by the brand Trigger Point. They come in a few different color options, including black, orange and pink. This is a personally tested roller that will last a long time. Its construction is great; its core is a hard plastic pipe style with a nice dense foam secured to the outside. The hollow middle allows for easier traveling, since you can stuff clothes or whatever you want and throw it in your suitcase.

A New Stylish Dance Bag
Dancers, especially girls, love a great bag to carry all their stuff to and from class. A good dance bag is important for a dancer to be able to carry everything she or he needs daily or may need, such as several pairs of dance shoes, extra leotards, tights or shirts, even a sewing kit, bandages and perfume. If you want to surprise a dancer with a nice new bag, you’ve got many options!
One very popular brand of bags is from designer Vera Bradley and there is a huge selection of patterns and colors to choose from, easily over 40 designs. While the bags have many different styles (that are also newly released every so often), there are a couple sizes that we recommend. That is the large duffel or the tote.
