Studio essentials 

Practical dance teacher gifts such as resistance bands, a water bottle and stretching tools always come in handy. A dance teacher spends a lot of time in the studio so dance accessories and everyday essentials are great dance teacher presents. 

A new dance outfit 

Dance teachers are always either in dance leotards or gymwear whilst teaching so why not treat your dance teacher to a new Move Dance outfit. From leotards to leggings we have plenty to choose from for dance teacher presents. Add a pair of dance shoes to complete the outfit! If you are looking for dance teacher gift ideas for your ballet teacher we would recommend our Move Dance Light Pro Stretch ballet shoes, if its jazz the Move Dance Illusion Split Sole Jazz Shoe are ideal for slipping on in between classes. 

A new dance bag 

Dance bags are a great idea for dance teacher presents. Dance  teachers have a lot of stuff to carry around so a good spacious dance bag is a must on every dance teachers wishlist, we would recommend the Bloch Multi Compartment Dance Bag, this bag is versatile as it features multiple compartments including including mobile phone pocket, pen holders and a centre compartment with a zipper to keep everything safe. 

Thankyou letter with tickets to a show inside

Make your dance teacher present more personal with a handwritten letter expressing your gratitude and appreciation, maybe highlight some stand out memories from the year. Memories from students can be more valuable than any material gift but if your budget allows tickets to a live show or musical performance inside the letter would be a lovely touch to add to your dance teacher gift. 

No matter your budget there are plenty of ways you can show your appreciation to your dance teacher. Whether it's a small gesture or a big gift, these dance teacher gift ideas are definitely going to leave your teacher feeling appreciated. 

Happy dancing
