Face it—one of the best ways to work off holiday stress is to dance. Watching it helps, too: New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theatre unveil versions of The Nutcracker, though a more soulful option is Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, which is in residence at New York City Center throughout December. And even though dance is the most ephemeral of all the arts, there are ways to take it home in the form of DVDs (David Hallberg!) and iPad apps (Merce Cunningham!). But there's nothing better than a gift made by a dancer: Laurie Berg, who helps run AUNTS, creates incredibly mesmerizing one-of-a-kind necklaces.
