It’s been at least a couple of years since we’ve done a gift guide and giveaway, and I’m so excited that it’s back! This gift guide features some of our favorite brands and products that are all about supporting you to feel inspired, happy, and healthy.
Details on the giveaway:*
One winner will receive ALL of the items listed below. To enter, go to @thewholedancer on Instagram and find this post.
Fuego Dance Sneakers
These dance sneakers are truly revolutionizing the market. They are the lightest-weight dance sneakers available. I’ve got a pair myself, and they’re my favorite shoes to teach in when I’ve got hours to get through.
All Fuego styles feature patented outsole technology including pivot points to help with spins and turns and a sole engineered for dancing on any surface. The dual pivot point on the bottom of Fuego sneakers lifts a dancer two millimeters off the ground, which boosts spin ability while reducing friction and torque on a dancer’s knees.
Giveaway winner receives: a free pair of sneakers in the style and color of choice
Jule Dancewear
Founded by former professional dancer, Julia Cinquimani, Jule Dancewear is a high-quality dancewear brand committed to producing dancewear that accommodates all body types. Jule Dancwewear’s leotards focus on fashion and function in their sleek and comfortable designs.
Jule is honestly my leotard obsession. I’ve got a collection of them, and each one is better than the last. They help me feel beautiful and confident. Dancewear really can have a transformative impact on how you feel as you’re dancing. Make sure you give Jule a try to see for yourself.
Giveaway winner receives: a leotard of your choice
Lauren in the Limelight by Miriam Landis
Miriam Landis is a former professional ballerina now on faculty at Pacific Northwest Ballet School. Lauren in the Limelight is a coming-of-age novel about the challenges and triumphs of a young dancer’s journey. With rave reviews from Megan Fairchild, Kathryn Morgan, Peter Boal, and more, Lauren in the Limelight will not disappoint.
“As she begins 6th grade, Lauren Lightfoot wants nothing more than to get her first pair of pointe shoes, enjoy her love for ballet, and spend time with her friends. Lauren and her friends Bryan and Serena are challenged to define themselves both on stage and in the world when they audition for the Pacific Northwest Ballet School and compete for roles in the spring recital.”
A fun read for dancers of any age. If you’re already a pro, you can reminisce about your training days with this beautiful story.
Giveaway winner receives: a copy of Lauren in the Limelight
Orza Pro Ones
Another shoe brand that is revolutionizing the market is dancer and medical professional-backed brand, Orza by Seth Orza.
The Orza Pro Ones are designed to provide shock absorption and stability. With patented technology, the Orza Pro One can help protect against injury and enhance a dancer’s well-being.
I haven’t gotten to try Orza Pro Ones just yet, but I’m getting some for Christmas! I can’t wait to see how they fit and perform. The reviews are amazing.
Giveaway winner receives: 1 pair of Orza Pro Ones in the material, color, and size of choice
PerfectFit Pointe
PerfectFit Pointe provides a custom pointe shoe insert that the user molds themselves. These inserts aid in relieving pressure points and help with weight distribution.
PerfectFit Pointe inserts are a smart-fitting solution to helping your foot fit perfectly in your shoe. Currently used by many professional dancers, PerfectFit is built to support your pointe shoe journey and help you dance confidently and joyfully.
Whenever I see PerfectFit videos, I can’t help but think what a difference they would have made for me in relieving pain and pressure on pointe. Definitely give this product a try!
Giveaway winner receives: PerfectFit Kit
Ororo Classic Heated Vest
We are obsessed with the Ororo heated vest. It has 3 carbon nanotube heating elements that generate heat across core body areas (left & right-hand pockets, upper back), 3 adjustable heat settings, and a 10-hour battery life (3 hours on high, 6 hours on medium, 10 hours on low).
The vest is machine washable and rechargeable through a USB port. What an amazing warmup tool for dancers!
Giveaway winner receives: one Ororo classic heated vest
