What to pack in your dance bag

Sometimes when we start a new activity we have a hard time knowing where to ….start.

A good place to start for all dancers is in what they are bringing to class with them in their dance bag.  Here is a handy list of the essentials.

For a younger student:

  • All shoes needed for class.  These shoes should be labeled with the child’s initials on the bottom in the event they are left behind or mixed up.
  • Legwarmers and dance sweater in the colder weather.

Older students should also include:

  • Hair ties to keep their hair tied back.
  • A water bottle for in between classes and a small snack if they are going to be at the studio for more than 90 minutes.
  • Bandages for the random blister and shoe that rubs the wrong way.

And of course everyone should bring their smile!
