10 DANCE RECITAL GIFT IDEAS - Not feeling crafty? Most of these can be purchased at the dance studio or at the theater on the day of recital. Bringing cash is always a good idea as many venues can only take cash for certain items.

  1. Bouquet of Flowers* Flowers are usually available at the event. The flower bouquets are designed with the dancer in mind, and tied with special ribbons to honor the occasion. Kehl KPO offers flower bouquets until we sell out.

  2. Commemorative Recital T-Shirt* Give your dancer a t-shirt they can proudly wear home from the recital! T-shirts are available for $15 until they are sold out.

  3. Commemorative Charm and Charm Bracelet* At Kehl, we offer a special charm available at the Spring Recital that expresses the theme of the show. It is a fun and inexpensive way to build a beautiful and meaningful bracelet that you can add on to year after year. Other fun charms can be found online through ETSY.

  4. Stuffies - Small Stuffed Animals* Kids love to collect small “stuffies”. They give them names and use them to tell stories about their experiences. Stuffed animals in tutus are sure to please.

  5. Socks* Dancers love wearing socks! The more colorful, the better. Get them a pair with the studio logo on them to show studio spirit!

  6. Dance Bag Each season dancers wear out their dance bags. As they grow, they tend to require their dance bags to hold more shoes, hair accessories and lots of stuff! Better yet, purchase a cool new dance bag and have it monogrammed.

  7. Key Chain* Key chains have become the #1 collectable! They are inexpensive and easy to find. Pick one up at the Spring Recital.

  8. Water Bottle* As athletes, dancers need to stay hydrated. Purchase a cute water bottle and adorn it with their name and a sticker or two. Logo water bottles are also appreciated!

  9. Hair Band or Clips Dancers are required to tie their hair back during dance class and they are forever seeking accessories to help them be dance-hair ready! Fill a small gift bag with cute and colorful hair bands, clips, ties, bobby pins, etc.

  10. Small, Portable Speaker You will find your dancer dancing everywhere! A small Bluetooth speaker they can clip to their dance bag or backpack is sure to get used!
