Where to find Discount Dancewear for Your Little Dancer

Being a parent means sometimes doing things you don’t want to do (and by sometimes we clearly mean all the time). We love our kids, but we don’t love the diaper changes, the mess clean up, the “fix my broken toy for the 39^th time in a row” whine or the fact that once they’re old enough to begin extracurricular activities we want them to, but we don’t want to spend hours running from here to there and there to here every single afternoon and weekend. It’s like kids don’t understand the concept of rest and relaxation.

Well, we have forever to rest and relax when the kids no longer want anything to do with us. Until then, we sign them up for sports and activities and change their diapers and look for a bathroom in the middle of nowhere right this second. And we try and figure out how anyone affords to put their kids in any programs with the outrageous cost associated with each one; $300 – $500 just for one child for three months of cheer? Can’t wait to start paying that fee when all four kids are playing sports. Dance is one of the most expensive activities in which kids can partake, and that means some kids don’t get to enroll. Their parents can’t afford it; and that’s what’s sad about this world.

If you’re worried about the cost of dance class for your little one, we can’t help you with the class itself, but we can tell you where you can find discounts on dancewear so that at least the clothes your child needs are in good condition, what they need to be and not an arm and a leg in terms of cost.

Internet Searches

A quick internet search for discount dancewear will bring up dozens of coupon sites that offer codes for online dance apparel and accessory shops. These coupons will save you a certain percentage off your total purchase so that you can buy what you need and get a good discount.

Craigslist

We don’t love this site because it’s a little scary – you do watch the news right? – but that doesn’t mean you can’t use it to find dancewear that was worn very little or actually never worn at all for your little one. How many children enroll in an activity, hate it and have parents that let them quit after a second? A lot; and they want to recoup some of that cost, so they’re interested in selling their slightly used items for a big discount.

Department Stores

Specialty retailers are usually best for this specific kind of clothing, but they’re not the only place you can find these items. Sometimes bigger department stores have discounts and sales on dancewear that your little one can wear to practice. The key is just to look for it.
