Custom Dance Trading Cards for Recitals & Competitions
Athletes get rookie cards. Dancers get - what, a program from the recital? Fix that: put your dancer on a real, printed trading card, stage photo on the front, name and studio underneath.
Upload any photo — your kid, your pet, your whole team — pick a pro template, and we print and ship a real, holdable card in 2–3 days.
Dance generates the most card-worthy photos in youth activities - costumes, stage lights, mid-leap action - and none of the trading card world has ever served it. Sports card sites do not speak dance, and generic photo prints miss the collectible magic entirely.
Snapshot prints custom dance cards on premium 2.5 x 3.5 inch card stock: the leap, the pose, or the curtain call on the front with dancer name, studio, style, and season. Single cards from $17.99 with a magnetic display case, full team sets at bulk pricing, shipped in 2-3 days.

Why Dance Cards Work
Dance photos were born for the card format.
Stage Photos Become Collectibles
Competition and recital shots - dramatic lighting, full costume - look incredible inside a card frame with a name plate. It reads instantly as something official.
The Season Series
One card per recital or competition season builds a collection across a dance career. The kindergarten ballet card next to the senior solo card tells the whole story.
Details That Matter
Style, studio, role, solo title, season - the card front carries the details a photo print never does.
Cases and Posters Included
Every card ships in a magnetic display case, and any photo can also print as an 11 x 15.4 inch MEGA poster for the wall.

Where Dance Cards Show Up
The four orders we see from dance families.
Recital Keepsakes
The annual post-recital card - this year's costume, role, and photo. The June tradition that builds into a series.
Competition Teams
Squad sets with a shared template - every dancer carded before nationals, trading between teams at the venue.
Gifts and Grandparents
Duplicate cards for grandparents and the family display shelf - extra copies are about $2 each.
Studio Fundraisers
Studios sell family card packs at recital - the same fundraising model youth sports teams run, in a market with zero competition.
The First Card Never Stays Alone
Dance families start with one recital card and end up with a series - and studios that see one dancer's card at the front desk turn it into a squad tradition by the next season.
