Merry Giftmas: Christmas Gifts for every Dancer
It's the most wonderful time of the year; sunshine (in Australia anyway), delicious food, time spent with friends and family, and...presents! But let's be honest, finding the perfect gift can sometimes be a bit of a headache. Even though it's the thought that counts, we've put together the ultimate gift guide for the special dancer in your life, to ease the pressure at this busy time of year. Happy Holidays!
Souvenir Pointe Shoes
The perfect stocking filler, these tiny pointe shoes are not only cute, they're versatile too; we've seen people use them as key-rings, as bag charms, hanging from the car mirror and to decorate their Christmas tree!
An Australian Ballet Season Package
Sometimes the best way to learn and improve is by watching others, and who better to inspire the next generation of ballerinas than our very own Aussie Ballet.
Available via their website, you can choose a set package or build your own. The Australian Ballet's 2018 season includes Murphy, The Merry Widow, Verve, Giselle, Spartacus and Cinderella.
An exquisite Lace Leotard
Just in time for Christmas, we're releasing some new styles to add to our much-loved collection of lace leotards. A few have already made their way online and instore with more to come!
Elegant, refined and timeless, they make a beautiful gift to put under the tree.
Some showstopping Showcase Collection
For dancers, cheerleaders, and gymnasts, our glittery Showcase collection is always a winner.
You can mix and match the metallic colourways for endless outfit options, from superhero red and blue, to pastel pink and lilac.
The Mesh Shoe Bag
We're in love with this dinky shoe bag, perfect for storing all your shoe accessories and letting your shoes air out before your next class.
An ideal gift for the dancer who is always on the go!
Some luxe pamper products
Lush Twinkle Toes Foot Powder
Body Shop Banana Hair Mask
The busiest dancers rarely have time to themselves!
A thoughtful gift that will force them to take some much needed R&R time out is always a good idea. Try The Body Shop, Lush or Bath & Body Works.
Some sports-luxe Atelier
This is the perfect gift for any dancer who lives and breathes dance in every waking moment.
Endlessly versatile, the Atelier Collection pieces can transition seamlessly between the studio and the street - meaning dancewear that does double duty on weekends.
A Remedial Massage
Any dancer who is constantly working their body to its limits will certainly appreciate a little TLC to work out those knots and tight spots from a busy year of dancing.
You might want to try a specialised dance physio centre or a therapist who has a dance background, such as The Performance Medicine Clinic.
Some Merino Wool warm-ups
Even in summer, it's important for dancers to warm up properly, and the best option is merino wool.
This natural fibre responds to the body to regulate temperature so that you don't overheat.
Some on-trend Linkd pieces
The Linkd Collection was designed in collaboration with Cat Santos and Dave McLean.
This line of versatile dance streetwear styles easily layer and work into the dancer's wardrobe.
The Perfect Dance Bag
Ultra spacious, with compartments, pockets and even straps to hold a yoga mat or a foam roller, the Large Dance Duffle is the ultimate in super-durable Dance Bag goals.
The Sparkle Tutu
A collective "awwww" for the cuteness that is this tiny tutu! Glittery tulle and our breathable Cotton Luxe fabric make this little number perfect for dress-ups, baby ballet, and impromptu performances in the living room.
Their first Tiara
Every princess needs a tiara! Any one of these will look beautiful displayed in your little dancer's bedroom until they finally reach that milestone: the first ballet solo performance.
An Energetiks Gift Card
Yes, we know, some people think gift cards are the easy way out. We disagree! Giving your special dancer an Energetiks Gift Card means giving them the choice of a huge range of gorgeous Australian made garments, so they can pick something out for themselves. An ideal present for someone who loves to shop (doesn't everyone?), or those who are tricky to choose for.
Remember, if you're finding it really hard to find that perfect present, we have a wonderful team of knowledgeable and qualified dancewear consultants in our stores ready and waiting to give you a helping hand. If you can't make it in store, our customer service team are just a phone call away to help you with your online purchases. Our contact details can be found on our website here.
Happy Holidays!
