Happy Friday y’all! Can you believe that Christmas is going to be here in just 15 days?! I can’t, haha! But I’m so excited! This is the second holiday gift guide I am sharing with y’all, a holiday gift guide for dancers. Some of these items are great for at home workouts as well. I know over the past two years we all have learned all the tips and tricks to at-home workouts, or at least I know I have! Once again, many of these items are on my list as well. Enjoy!

Item #13! – Bosu Balance Trainer; I LOVE mine! I got it for Christmas several years ago and it is perfect for balance exercises on both the flat and rounded side. You can stand on either side, but you can also put your hands on it in a pushup position and do various exercises.
Item #14! – Classic Ballet Bullet Pointe Skirt (Aurora); my favorite color is pink, so this is the skirt that would be at the top of my Christmas list!
