The holiday season is the perfect time to slow down, celebrate, and spend time with the people who make your life brighter—your dance besties! Life can get busy, which can make it hard to find time to spend with your friends, especially during the holiday season. But there are so many fun activities you can squeeze into even the most packed schedule, like having hot cocoa, taking festive pictures, and blasting Christmas music to dance to in your room. This time of year is all about being joyful, creative, and spending time with your loved ones.
Host a Holiday Dance Party
What’s a better way to celebrate the holiday season than to have a festive dance party? Make a playlist filled with all your favorite festive songs and have a mini dance party with your friends at your house. You can get all dressed up in cute Christmas pajamas, slippers, and put some twinkle or disco lights up. Don’t forget snacks to refuel after all that dancing.
Do a Secret Santa Gift Exchange (Dance Edition)
Great dance gifts cover a wide range of categories, from practical (water bottles, stickers, scrunchies, and exercise gear) to sentimental (handmade gifts, symbols of inside jokes). Let your creativity shine!
There are so many ways to exchange gifts! You can do a traditional Secret Santa exchange (pick an inexpensive price limit for everyone to follow, then draw names from a hat), or if you want a more randomized and silly experience, you can play a gift-giving game, such as the Saran Wrap Ball Game.
Bake and Decorate Cookies Together
The winter holidays are the best time to make homemade desserts. Put on a festive playlist, grab some cookie cutters and sprinkles, and spend the afternoon baking and decorating. Invite friends over to each make a different type of cookie for a variety of desserts. Once you’re done, wrap them up to share at your studio!
Go Out for Hot Chocolate After Practice
This is such a simple necessity, especially after a long practice. Grab some teammates and head over to your favorite coffee shop to wind down with some hot chocolate. This is a simple and cozy activity to turn into a winter tradition.
