A pair of dance shoes is one of the essential items a dancer needs. They are often quite expensive as well. If you are buying shoes for your daughter, assess her taste in shoes and as well as her shoe size by looking at the shoes that she already owns. If you are buying for a friend's daughter or a girlfriend, ask for hints about what styles she likes or present her a gift card to her favorite dance store so she can purchase shoes.
Clothing for a dancer is also important, especially if she dances every day. An abundance of fresh and clean clothes is helpful for a dancer who practices daily. Clothing expressing a love of dance is a great gift idea for enthusiasts. There are t-shirts and sweatshirts that express a love for dance in many different styles. For example, the word "Dance" can be written on the legs of a pair of sweatpants or on the back of a t-shirt.
Give a girl who loves dance theater or dancing in the movies a selection of classic dance movies, such as "Singing in the Rain" or "Dirty Dancing," to modern dance movies like "Step It Up." Wrap the DVDs together and present them to her as a bundle gift. The variety of movies will also show your dance enthusiast the range of different dances that exist.
For a beginner, lessons will fuel her passion to immerse fully into dance. Prices for dance lessons vary depending on your location. There are also private and group lessons available. If you cannot afford to purchase a dance lesson, give a popular dance instructional DVD. While the DVD may be lacking in individual attention, it can still prepare a beginning dancer with the moves and steps she will need to know.
