6 Neccesities of a Dance Bag

            Many dancers have their own little things that they keep in there dance bag, but almost all of us have the same stuff that helps us get through our dance class. However, I won't include any dance shoes due to the fact that if I do include them, this list might go on FOREVER.

1) Toe Tape
Nothing like a little toe tape to help prevent and heal blisters before putting on your shoes!

2) Scissors
Whether you need them to cut off the tag on your new leotard or just cutting the ribbons and elastic of your shoe, scissors are an absolute must.

3) Set of Ribbons and Elastic
Nothing could help save the day like a little extra ribbon if one falls off....

4) Bobby Pins and Hair Nets
For the times when your hair falls out or your newly made bun looks awful. Nobody will understand hair nets like dancers....

5) Leg Warmers, Sweater, and Skirt
During the winter, ALL of these are needed. Especially when you just stepped in from the 50 degree winter outside to what you think is an even colder dance studio.

And last but definitely not least....

6) Capezio Stitch Kit
You can use this kit for sowing those new pointe shoes 15 minutes before class, fixing and elastic that just fell off, and the needles help make the threading even faster. Seriously. The best needles in the world.



Ballet is sweat, tears, blood, blisters, time, money, and competition, but the most important part is to always have fun!
