Give the Gift of Dance
Whether you have stockings to stuff, gift bags to fill, or want to limit "stuff" and give an experience gift, Dance 1 has you covered.
Head on over to our blog for some creative and inexpensive DIY gift ideas that will get your kids moving and inspire their love of dance and music. (We've even included some craft ideas for those vacation days!)
If a shared experience speaks to you more, and you don't need one more thing (!) cluttering your home, consider buying an experience gift. See the "live theater" sidebar for some local live entertainment options. You can also stop by the front desk and purchase a gift certificate good toward any class, event or party. Perfect for that friend who has been meaning to try something new and fun!
You can also stop inside Dance 2-Tu, Dance 1's in-store boutique. For the holidays, we've got great stocking stuffers like jewelry and accessories, and also Dance 1 apparel, dance bags and dance wear for kids and adults. (Gift certificates are also good toward merchandise from Dance 2-Tu).
At Dance 1, we truly believe that dance is a gift that you can give yourself or others any time of the year! Happy Holidays from our family to yours!

Things to know:
- Practice! Choreography for combo classes are on the Dance 1 YouTube channel. Search: Dance1RedondoBeach (no spaces). For leveled classes, parents will be invited in to record choreography at the end of class. Please bring something with which to record. Practicing at home makes a big difference!
- Volunteer: If you have not volunteered to work the Winter Show and would like to, please sign up on the bulletin board, or email the front desk. To make for a smooth running show and to keep the show on time, our volunteers are so important!
- Allow extra time on show day. It often takes longer than you think to do dress, hair and make up for the show, park, check in, etc. Please factor in some extra time. See our ballet bun tutorials if you need a refresher on hair.
- Shoes: please do not wear your dance shoes to or from the show! Change into your shoes once you arrive in the theater.
- Enjoy the show!
Please read emails or check the bulletin board for other important show information. You can also find more on our website.
