Five Star Gift Ideas

For a tap dancing enthusiast like your son, there are plenty of gift ideas that can enhance his love for this art form. Here are some meaningful and personal gift ideas for him:

1. Tap Shoes: A high-quality pair of tap shoes is a must-have for any tap dancer. Look for a pair that suits his style and level of expertise. You can opt for a classic black pair or choose one with a pop of color to add some personality. Make sure to get the correct size so that he can tap away comfortably.

2. Tap Dance Classes: If your son is already taking tap dance classes, consider enrolling him in advanced or specialized workshops to further his skills. Alternatively, you can gift him private lessons with a professional tap dancer who can provide personalized guidance and mentorship.

3. Tap Dance Apparel: Help your son look stylish while he taps with some tap dance apparel. Consider getting him a tap dance t-shirt, hoodie, or a dance bag to carry his tap shoes and other belongings. Look for designs that represent his passion for tap dancing, such as tap shoe patterns, dance quotes, or images of famous tap dancers.

4. Dance Flooring: To make practicing at home easier and more enjoyable, consider getting your son a portable dance floor specifically designed for tap dancing. These durable and slip-resistant surfaces can be easily rolled out and provide a suitable platform for practicing his moves in the comfort of his own space.

5. Dance Accessories: There are several accessories that can enhance your son's tap dance experience. Consider gifting him a tap dance book that delves into the history and techniques of tap dancing or a DVD featuring iconic tap dance performances. Additionally, tap dance rhythm boards or electronic metronomes can help him refine his timing and rhythm skills.

6. Tickets to a Tap Show: Surprise your son with tickets to a live tap dance performance or a tap dance festival in your area. This will not only expose him to professional dancers and inspiring routines but also provide an opportunity for him to network and connect with fellow tap enthusiasts.

7. Tap Dance Music Playlist: Create a personalized tap dance music playlist for your son. Include a mix of classic tap dance tunes, contemporary tracks with a strong beat, and songs from famous tap dancers. This playlist can be a great source of inspiration for him during practice sessions and can help him explore different styles and rhythms within tap dancing.

Remember, the most important part of selecting a gift is to show your son that you support and appreciate his passion for tap dancing. Consider his preferences and interests while choosing the gift, and he will surely cherish it for years to come.

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

“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.”
