Dance Teacher Gifts: Wow Your Instructors This Year

Can you believe it’s time to find dance teacher gifts again? Where did 2020 go? The way time has gotten away could have something to do with all the crazy evens that have taken up this year, but your Christmas list doesn’t need to get away from you! Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just about here so let’s get a jump on that shopping.

Ready for your guide to gifts that the dance teachers at your studio, your dance teacher friends, or you will LOVE? Look no further, I’ve got dance teacher gifts covered!

(A note: One of my favorite things about my chosen leggings and pants is that they stand the test of time. For this reason, most of these selections have been in my closet of dance clothes for quite some time and may look slightly different from the items that are offered now. However, I can fully vouch for these particular brands and fits!)

Maars 20 oz. Skinny Steel, Double Wall Stainless Tumbler (Carnation, 4 Pack)

I have no trouble telling you that I put this product up first because it’s my all-time favorite out of this whole list. These tumblers by Maars are amazing. I received one from one of my bosses a few years ago and now I feel like something just isn’t right when I leave it behind. I promise, your dance teacher employees, coworkers, and friends will love them!

Whether you want your drink to stay piping hot or for the ice inside to remain frozen for hours, this is what you need. The design makes them super easy to wash and is great for anyone who is always on the go. You know what it’s like when you make your coffee, teach a class, and come back to realize it’s now cold? That doesn’t have to happen anymore.

When Maars says these drinks stay hot for three hours and cold for nine, they aren’t joking.

Rimmel Provocalips 16HR Kiss Proof Liquid Lip Lipstick

When you’re a busy dance teacher, it’s easy to simply toss your hair into a bun, throw on that leotard or yoga pants and just go. But if you’re like me, you feel so much better when you have something small that makes you feel “together.” (Even though, face it, none of us teachers really are around the holidays, especially this way between ZOOM and modified holiday performances… but we can pretend, can’t we?)

Many of us have likely given up our usual make-up because of the inevitable wear-and-tear masks have on our faces. But do you know what? I found a long-lasting lipstick that DOES NOT budge under your mask! Promise, you won’t look like IT when you take it off to drink some water during Kindergarten hip hop or pre-teen ballet.

There’s something about feeling pretty even when we have to wear masks which is why a Rimmel lipstick is a perfect idea for dance teacher gifts this year.

90 Degree By Reflex High Waist Squat Proof Interlink Leggings for Women

Every dance teacher needs a trusty pair of black leggings…or two.

I just found these leggings by 90 Degree Flex. They are so comfortable and thick, yet breathable. They definitely aren’t see-through and work great for teaching or taking class. Women love new clothes and that includes teachers! That’s why these make a great dance teacher gift this year or any year.

There isn’t a whole lot to love about the pandemic. I don’t know many people who actually like wearing masks…but since we have to, why not choose a pretty one?

These washable, reusable masks manage to bring a hint of elegance which is always welcome among us ballet teachers. Drop one of these to your ballet-loving friends and share the beauty of the artform in every way possible.

Let’s get shopping!

No need to wonder what to get the dance lovers in your life this year. Trust me, these gifts will bring as much cheer to the artistic folks around you as they have to me.

Happy shopping!
