Dancers! Competition season is right around the corner and we want to make sure everyone is prepared. Here are a few essentials you should pack in your bag!
Makeup mistakes are super common when you are put up against time. Having makeup wipes makes cleaning up the mistakes so much faster and precise.
All costumes
Make sure you write your name on ALL costume and hair pieces with a permanent marker to avoid confusion and exchanging of costumes.
Clear Bra Straps ONLY
Having clear bra straps makes your costume look neater and prevents any distractions.
Safety Pins
One pair of extra tights
You never know when a pair of tights can rip or get stained
Wear black or nude undergarments under tights.
Deodorant
Comfortable Shoes
Water
Phone, Charger, and Headphones
Money for Snacks or a Packed Lunch
Snacks like bananas or granola bars will keep you full, energized, and ready to dance. Make sure not to pack or buy fatty foods that might make you feel sick or too full, like chips or candy.
