This Ballet Barre Workout Kit is perfect for anyone who wants to start practicing their ballet skills at home.
It includes a ballet barre, as well as stretch bands and a mini exercise ball.
Know a dedicated ballerina? With this ballet bundle, your favorite ballet dancer will be able to practice all their moves and stretches from the comfort of their bedroom or living room.
It has a gym mat base, so it’s safe to use on any type of floor. Unlike tiles, which have edges that can snag, it’s entirely smooth. The tapered edges also increase safety.
It even has the perfect tone for tap dance and Irish dance sounds.
This foot and leg massager is life-changing, according to hundreds of customer reviews.
When we interviewed a former pro-level ballet dancer about the best gifts for dancers, her first thought was immediate: a foot and leg massager.
This machine is the best-reviewed foot massager on Amazon. It will not disappoint the dancer in your life, whose feet are probably aching from all those repetitive dance moves.
This foot massager is angled, and you can adjust it with an easy bar. If you make it vertical, it becomes a calf massager (and can massage almost up to the knee). Customers love how powerful it is — and how it relieves their pain.
This Geenyous Ballet Foot Stretcher has a new and improved design, so it’s a perfect gift for all ballet dancers — even if they’ve used other foot stretchers in the past.
Made from smooth pine, this well-made foot stretcher helps ballerinas increase flexibility in their arches and feet.
This is a perfect gift for ballet dancers (and aspiring ballet dancers!) of all foot sizes.
And even if they’re an avid consumer of books with gorgeous full-color photographs of dancers, they probably don’t already own this one: it was just published in 2019.
It has mesh pockets for easy-grab items (like hair essentials), and even has a thermal pocket for a hot iron.
There’s plenty of room to store extra clothes and dance supplies, as well as rear yoga mat storage. This bag will tote everything your favorite dancer needs for warm-up and cool-down — and everything in between.
When we interviewed a former ballerina about her favorite gifts she received as a dancer, this was at the top of the list. When a dancer has tons of bobby pins to deal with, the magnetic feature can really help make her life easier.
These charcoal shoe inserts will help the dancer in your life keep their dancing shoes fresh.
Dancing can be hard work, and dance shoes are an important part of almost every style of dance. The dancer in your life will appreciate the thoughtful gesture.
(When we spoke to a dancer, she suggested these as a perfect gift.)
Of course, if you’re giving these while suggesting that a dancer’s shoes are particularly smelly, you may be guilty of giving one of the worst Christmas gifts ever. Make sure you give this gift thoughtfully!
This Ballerina Backpack is perfect for the tiny dancer in your life. Whether they’re toting their lunchbox, books, or dance practice clothes, they’ll be happy to share their passion for dancing on their backpack.
This backpack is also waterproof, and comes with plenty of space for both dance supplies and school supplies.
It’s double-walled and insulated, so it will keep cold drinks cold, even in the steamiest dance studio. Plus, it will keep tea hot, when your favorite dancer is trekking through the cold to practice.
This Portable Ballet Barre is a great gift for ballet dancers of all ages. It’s large enough to work for adults who are taking up ballet as their new hobby, as well as children.
This would also be perfect for a ballet dancer with older (or younger) siblings who also dance. They can practice together at home!
Do you know a dancer who complains about foot pain? These Toe Separator Stretchers are a perfect thoughtful gift for them.
Foot problems can become common among ballet dancers, as well as other types of dancers. If a dancer gets bunions (a problem where the big toe points inwards, as it does when dancers point their toes), these toe stretchers can offer relief.
They can also help with plantar fasciitis, another issue that can plague dancers’ feet.
This gorgeous hardcover book of photographs and stories will delight any ballet connoisseur — or anyone who’s simply interested in learning about the history of this classic dance form.

This Insulated Lunch Bag Tote is perfect for dancers who have long days of dance practice ahead of them.
If they frequently don’t leave the dance studio for lunch, this is the perfect thoughtful gift for them. (When we interviewed a former ballerina, she suggested it.)
The latest upgraded version — yet they already have over 16,000 positive reviews.
These would be perfect for a breakdancer, hip hop dancer, or anyone else who practices dance moves on their own — and could benefit from hearing their music through these comfortable, over-ear headphones — without needing anyone else to hear their music.
Plus, they’re available in tons of fun colors, so you can pick the color that will match your favorite dancer’s style.
This circular yoga mat is perfect for any dancer who stretches on the floor.
Whether working on their splits or other floor stretches, they will love this circular mat, which provides room for stretching in more directions than a traditional yoga mat.
This Massage Gun would make a fantastic gift for any athlete. Dancing uses tons of muscle groups with every move, and dedicated dancers may overstress certain muscles
Since dancers often have great body awareness, they may find that they’re better able to perform self-massage than most.
This comes with six different massage heads, for massaging different muscle groups. It also has 20 different speed settings.
This is one of the more affordable percussion massage guns on the market — yet it has thousands of positive reviews.
Just imagine how liberated your favorite dancer will feel when they can dance to their own music, playing in their ears (with the option of deep bass, if they’re that kind of dancer) — with no cords or hassles.
Plus, these can be easily charged in the wireless charging case.
Help your favorite dancer cut down on clutter with this super-efficient, easy-to-use technology.
If they were certain shoes for their dancing, this bag will be even more perfect for them, because it includes a separate shoe pocket. (It’s nice to keep your dance shoes separate from your clothes.)
There’s even a pocket for wet items — in case they get super sweaty at dance practice!
These photographs of the most relevant dancers who are defining dance today are accompanied by inspiring quotes by the dancers (and choreographers) themselves.
Any dancer will be inspired over and over again, every time they open this book of gorgeous photographs.
The TheraGun is the original percussion massager that launched the popularity of this new type of self-massage device.
Today, cheaper models have hit the market. But many athletes still swear by the Theragun for practicing self-massage.
If your dancer is in need of serious daily massage therapy, you might want to splurge on this elite model, designed for high-performance athletes — like professional dancers.
These Letsfit earbuds will let your favorite dancer dance to the music in their head — without being restrained by cords or cables (or short battery life).
They can play 4-5 hours of crystal-clear music from a single charge. And it’s super easy to charge them — they charge inside their tiny carrying case!
I received a free pair to test out, and they are so comfortable and easy to use. Even if all you’re doing is dancing around your kitchen.
