Simple gifts: little touches make a dancer's day special.'Tis the season. The holidays are center stage and it's the perfect time to say thank you to the dance friends and teachers in your life. And what better place to turn for gift ideas than the little things that make a dancer's day? Dance Magazine's gift guide, shot at Stepping Out Studios, follows a dancer from New York's Broadway Dance Center through her dance schedule: choosing an outfit in the morning, heading to the studio, stretching before class, relaxing with a bite, and winding down at home.
