Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for contemporary dance and ballet, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that can enhance his interest and support his love for these art forms. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Dance Classes: Consider enrolling him in a dance studio or workshop where he can continue to learn and develop his skills. Look for classes that focus on contemporary dance and ballet techniques, as this will allow him to refine his technique and expand his dance vocabulary. This gift will provide him with an opportunity to further immerse himself in his passion and connect with other dancers who share his interests.

2. Performance Tickets: Treat your son to a live dance performance or ballet show. Look for upcoming productions by renowned contemporary dance companies or ballet troupes. Experiencing dance live can be truly inspiring and will expose him to different styles and choreographers, broadening his artistic horizons and allowing him to witness the beauty and power of dance firsthand.

3. Books on Dance: A collection of books focusing on contemporary dance or ballet can be an excellent gift for your son. Look for titles that explore the history of dance, famous choreographers, or biographies of legendary dancers. Not only will he enjoy learning about the art he loves, but these books can also serve as valuable resources for his dance education.

4. Dance Apparel: Quality dancewear and dance accessories will be both practical and thoughtful gifts for your son. Consider getting him a new leotard, ballet shoes, or dance tights. If he already has the basics, you could consider more specialized items like a personalized dance bag, leg warmers, or a dance-inspired piece of jewelry. These gifts will not only enhance his dance experience but also show your support for his passion.

5. Dance Inspiration Board: Create a personalized dance inspiration board filled with photographs, quotes, and postcards that capture his favorite dance moments or choreographers. Display it in his room or dance space to motivate and inspire him. This gift shows that you appreciate his dedication and are invested in his artistic journey.

6. Dance Workshop or Intensive: Help your son take his dance training to the next level by sponsoring him to participate in a dance workshop or intensive program. These programs, often led by professional dancers, offer intensive training and immersive experiences. Participating in a workshop or intensive can be an incredible opportunity for growth and can allow your son to learn from experienced artists and connect with dancers from around the world.

Remember, the best gift is one that supports and nurtures your son's passion for contemporary dance and ballet. By choosing a gift that celebrates his love for dance, you are not only giving him something meaningful but also showing that you truly understand and appreciate his interests.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
