Farli Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hi everyone I am a mature adult working on my ISTS intermediate ballet during lockdown! I have various health issues and my teacher has been so supportive and helpful during this difficult time. She’s working so hard I wanted to get her a gift but something special. I don’t know too much about her personal life so it’s a bit difficult. Most ideas online seem to be for kids to give their teachers so I thought I would ask you guys for your help. Much appreciated xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cluelessmomma Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Do they have a garden? There are rose varieties named after famous ballet dancers - Anna Pavlova and Darcy Bussell spring to mind but I’m sure there would be others! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pas de Quatre Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I have gratefully received a bottle wine from pupils over many years. The advantage is that it doesn't have to be consumed immediately but can be saved for an appropriate occasion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Dancer Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 David Austin has the best roses in my experience. The quality and service are both excellent. I got my father their Ballerina rose https://www.davidaustinroses.co.uk/ballerina which is absolutely beautiful. I should say my father is not a ballerina but as it was from me and I love doing ballet, it seemed apt and Darcey Bussell needs more sun than their garden gets. Danse de feu https://www.davidaustinroses.co.uk/danse-de-feu is another of their dance themed ones which is beautiful but it's a climber so it needs more space and a climbing frame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
