A few of my favorite things

A few moms were chatting before class about gifts for their young dancers.  I was inspired to put together a little post with some recommended gifts.

I love experience gifts and highly recommend giving your dancer the gift of the Nutcracker this year! I am going with my daughter Maggie and some of the ballet teachers to the Boston Ballet Nutcracker on Sunday, November 26th at 1:30pm and would love to see you and your dancer there.  We will be sitting in the Mezzanine Center Left, Section B, Row M. Lets meet up beforehand! We will be by the Opera House's downstairs fireplace from 1:00-1:15 before the show. We hope to see you there!

Here is a DanceFIT photo from years past :)

I have also attended the Metrowest Dance Academy performance of The Nutcracker, Clara's Dream.  This is perfect for younger dancers. The performance is local, the dancing is phenomenal...and the best part...you may see some DanceFIT graduates performing.  We love this classical ballet studio as a next step option for our graduating dancers.
