With Christmas almost upon us I thought it timely to do a top ten list of gifts for a dance teacher. Feel free to add any items you may have in your wishlist in the comments.
- A subscription to a dance magazine such as Dance Teacher available at www.dance-teacher.com, Dance Studio Life at www.rheegold.com, Dancing Times at www.dancing-times.co.uk or Dance Train at www.dancetrain.com.au
- A book to curl up and read with. Mao’s Last Dancer by Li Cunxin, Steps in Time: An Autobiography by Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly: A Life of Dance and Dreams by Alvin Yudkoff all found at amazon.com
- An IPOD. Need I say more?
- An iTunes gift voucher. Definitely need this if you have an IPOD.
- A gift voucher for a dancewear store such as Bloch’s, Capezio, Sansha or one of the many stores that sell dance goods.
- Tickets to a live show. There’s nothing better than watching a Broadway show or your favourite dance company.
- Dance classes – Broadway Dance Centre (www.broadwaydancecenter.com) in New York, Pineapple Dance Studios (www.pineapple.uk.com) in London and Dance 101 (www.dance101.com.au) in Melbourne all have gift vouchers available for purchase. Check with your local dance centre for information.
- A massage for those aching legs and feet!
- A photobook. These are created easily online and make a thoughtful personal gift. A photobook makes a great gift from a class of students.
- A beautiful dance poster can really transform a workspace of home. Available from the many poster websites that can be found online.
What do you think?
Merry Christmas and I hope Santa is kind to you this year.
