Training Funds 

There's little a dedicated dancer loves more than more dance. If given an unlimited budget and time many dancers would fill their schedule with every dance class their heart desires. If you want to contribute to a dancer's training fund, there are a couple different ways you could. 

Ways to Contribute to a dancer's training:

• Gift Certificates to the studio they attend
• Cash funds for class or entry fees 
• The cost of a convention or workshop in their area

Dance Wear 

Dancer's can never have enough dance wear and these specialized clothing are subject to a lot of wear and tear and can often be costly. Treating your dancer to some new dance wear is giving them the gift of comfort and confidence their classes in the new year.

Studio Wear 

Help your dancer show their studio spirit with some studio wear! Most studios have a selection of clothing that will help your dancer show their studio pride and making a purchase from your studio is a way to shop small and help promote your studio this holiday season. 

Live Show 

Live performance is back! After a very long period of hardship, dance companies and theaters are slowly but surely coming back to life. Support these establishments and inspire the dancer in your life by purchasing tickets to a local performance. Whether you start a holiday tradition going to see a major production of The Nutcracker or support your local arts community by finding a production staring artists closer to home, the gift of a live performance is sure to impress. Many companies are also putting on digital shows if you aren't ready to make it out to a theater yet.
