Being a dance mom is awesome although, it does come with buying lots of dance shoes, Leotards, paying tuition etc.LOL But, I do enjoy seeing my baby girl in her element and doing what she loves to do!
Dancing is like an art and, we always want our dancer to look and feel good. They are always performing in front of an audience or something so, we’re always buying new dance gear.
If you have a dancer in your life that you need to buy a gift for, buy them something that they can use for dance or that relates to dance, I’m sure to them that would be their best gift ever!
Whether it’s their Birthday, Christmas, celebrating an achievement, graduation etc
My daughter has been in this for 5 years so, by now I think I can name all of the dance gear out there LOL.
Here is a list of gift ideas for the dancer in your life:
Dancer Gift Ideas
Leotards
Dancers can never have enough leotards, they wear them a lot and, there are so many different types to choose from.

Make-up Bag
One that can hold all of the dancer’s makeup and travel friendly (of course, it doesn’t have to say dancer on it, any make-up bag should do the trick)

Hair Gel
Now this is based on preference, so, for my child she has kinky curly hair so, we have to use one that is going to slick and hold her hair because, you know dancers wear a lot of ponytails and buns.
Here is the hair gel we use and, this works better than other one I have used for her slick or sleek styles LOL.

Gift card to store that sells dance items: Great dancer gift idea, they can just go pick out their own gift, who wouldn’t love that so, these are some of the online stores that sell dance items: Lebos, capezio, Bloch and amazon etc.
Vanity Mirror
A mirror is great to have to be able to travel with also, to keep in their dance bag.

Make-up remover wipes
Anyone who needs make-up should keep these and, Our Faves are the Neutrogena ones. my daughter keeps these in her bag but, lets be clear she only wears make-up for dance photos or performances lol.
Nevertheless, these make for a great gift to give to a dancer. Can be purchased from Walmart, family dollar, target etc.
