It’s that time of year when children everywhere are compiling their lists ready to send to the big man for Christmas. Thankfully, I’m giving him a helping hand this year, with this collection of gift ideas for younger dancers, which are sure to leave little dancers prancing round like the Sugar Plum Fairy!

Fancy Leotards

Most dance schools have a uniform policy in place for everyday classes, but it’s nice to have something a little bit different for workshops and free classes, to help little dancers feel special. For example, Dancewear Central stock a range of big brands leotards like these pretty Bloch and Capezio ones, with something to suit every personality and occasion!
