DANCE GIFTS

The Suffolk® Foot Roller is a portable, easy to use tool for massaging a dancer's feet. The roller is great to use both before and after class to improve strength and flexibility. The inner groove pattern targets the transverse arch, which helps propel the dancer on to pointe. The outer grooves target the medial and longitudinal arch muscles, improving the line of the foot. The foam center is firm enough to activate the muscles, but also soft and pliable for comfort. At only 7 inches long, the Suffolk® Foot Roller can easily be kept in a dance bag, and should be a staple for all dancers.

Balance boards are used by dancers to improve balance, core strength, and are proven to increase range of motion and flexibility in the ankle, lower leg, and knee. When using a balance board, the dancer is forced to stabilize and engage their core to remain balanced and centered on the board. The low impact movement of using the board requires the dancer to use muscles from all over the body without risk of injury. Skid resistant wooden upper with wooden balance dome.

Diameter is 16 inches.

We have two types of SpinBoards, commonly referred to as a “Turning Boards”.

The original rectangular SpinBoard is great for beginners. It’s curved base has a non-slip foot pad. It allows the dancer to balance with the entire foot on the board, for turning and pirouette training.

The SpinBoard Releve Disc for intermediate and advanced dancers. It is a round turning disc, requiring the dancer to practice their turns and pirouettes in Releve position, with the heal raised off the floor.

Both SpinBoards promote the centering of the core and proper leg, body and arm positioning during turns.

The Leg Bands are a set of 5 – 12 inch, latex rubber loop bands, with color coded resistance levels for progressive workouts. These are great for leg strength conditioning and toning.

Resistance increases with each band level:
