It is important to send your child to dance class with the things they'll need to make it through a long day of classes and rehearsals. I've listed out the obvious essentials that should always live in your child's dance bag, including first aid items, and extra things that a parent who doesn't dance might not think of.
Every dance bag should have the obvious:
pointe shoes, ballet slippers, character shoes
leotard (extra/backup)
tights (extra/backup)
extra hair supplies
deodorant
notepad and pen (or device to take notes on)
Pointe shoe essentials:
toe pads
band aids
blister band aids, or liquid band aids
mole skin
corn pads (silicone or felt, they work great for protecting blisters)
sewing supplies
triangular sponges for toe spaces (to take pressure off of bunions)
First Aid essentials:
trash bag hip warmer
instant cold pack
Tennis ball (to roll out sore hips and calf muscles)
Advil or Aleve for aches and pains
band aids
Extra essentials:
energy bars (Lara, Cliff, Builders, high protein low sugar)
flip camera, ipod camera, (to record or take pictures with for remembering choreography)
ipod for going over choreography or simply to relax
makeup
hand sanitizer
Does anyone carry anything else in their dance bags that I didn't list here?
