We’re fully embracing the festive season here at LDA and while for some it may be too early... we are gonna go right ahead and start #countingdowntochristmas 🎅🏻

Just 32 days to go!

While we countdown we thought we would bring you all some inspiration for all things festive in dance with ideas for decorations, crafts & gifts for your budding dancer! Starting with our favourite decoration of all... The Nutcracker! We have quite the collection of Nutcrackers here at LDA and it just seems to keep growing... but can a ballet school ever have enough Nutcrackers? We think not.

We have put together a list of companies who have some very special Nutcracker gifts available!

@nutballetgifts have a gorgeous range of sparkly Nutcrackers & lots of ballet gifts!

@heartmadebykirsty can personalise your little dancers own Nutcracker treat bag... perfect for filling with our favourite goodies from 'The land of sweets!' 🍭🍬 or personalise their very own Nutcracker mug... hot chocolate anyone?

@biscuiteersltd have an entire Nutcracker scene made of biscuits 🍪😍 we can confirm they are delicious!

And because so many of you keep asking... our sparkly Nutcrackers? They are from ASDA but currently sold out online!
