Holiday Gift Guide 2009

2009 has been a great year for me as a dance educator and now I believe I can call myself a dance blogger as well. Since I started blogging, I have felt so empowered to share my ideas with you. I also now know that it is alright if something isn't working in class; I realize that teachers are the hardest on themselves. The best outlet for me is that I can come straight to the web and someone somewhere has written about it. So today I decided to put together a gift guide for everything and everyone dance in your life. There is something on the list for your students, your dance teacher, your dance colleague, and your children. I have also put some materials on here for you (the dance educator) if you happen to be looking to spruce up your classes or your classroom! I hope you enjoy browsing through it as much as I loved putting it together!
