Dance Charms - Gift Ideas For Young Dancers

Are you looking for a treat for a young dancer? The perfect solution may be one you least expect - charms.

I once ran a ballet outlet and my most popular product was a silver pointe shoe charm necklace. Parents and children alike loved it!

That was some time ago, before the current enthusiasm for charms like Pandora and Troll. So, considering a dance charm was so sought after then, I can only guess how sought after it would be now!

Today, you will find a lot of dance charms and charm bracelets. There are ballet shoes (one shoe or two!), ballet dancers in a range of poses, and tutus for ballet dancers. For flamenco lovers, there are flamenco fans and occasionally, flamenco dancers. I've seen ballroom and tap dancers, and shoes for tap, tango, Irish and Scottish dancing.

There's much less choice in Pandora charms, in other, compatible ranges. Pandora charms have to be fat to allow for the central hole, so it's hard to design a delicate charm which reflects the spirit of dancing. I have seen some ballet shoe charms but they are too bulky for my taste!

You will find quite a number of Pandora charms engraved with words like "dance" or "I love to dance" - and their Murano glass beads have fabulous swirling colors which seem to be dancing all by themselves!

You'll often hear the phrase "lucky" charms. I always understood that meant charms shaped like a four leaf clover or a horseshoe. But I heard a lovely story of a woman who received a charm bracelet for Christmas. It didn't have a four leaf clover, but she soon discovered that when she was wearing it, good things happened -and when she wasn't wearing it, went wrong. She didn't tell her family, but it ultimately became so obvious, even her son commented! Her explanation was that the bracelet was given to her by her family, and the charms were chosen with care and love, so it was imbued with a special quality. Maybe that's a good reason to buy a charm bracelet!

If you're having trouble deciding between all the different charms - it may help to know that the ballet shoe necklace was always far more popular than similarly priced dancing figure necklaces.
