Practice Bag Essentials

As you start getting ready for your next season of rehearsals, practices, and auditions, one of the items that always needs to be fully equipped is your bag. There’s nothing worse than realizing that you forgot to bring your deodorant, for instance, on your first day of class. If you want to stay ahead of the game and make your teacher proud, take a look at Starline Baton’s list of essentials to pack in your dance bag. Show up to your next baton twirling class fully prepared with these key life-saving items:

Extra Pair of Shoes:
Missing your practice or rehearsal because you forgot your shoes or because one of your shoes was torn up unexpectedly can be a real bummer. In order to avoid this annoying situation, keep an extra pair of shoes in your bag. Also, in the case of an audition, bringing a different style of shoes with you can be smart in case they ask you to perform a different type of dance.

Bobby Pins, Hairspray, and Hairbrush:
Since you want your hair to always look spotless, having some extra bobby pins will be key to always keep those flyaway hairs out the picture. Hairspray and a hairbrush are two other items that you always need to keep in your bag.

Tights and Warm-Ups:
In case of runs, tears, stains, or sweat, you should always have an extra pair of tights in your bag. In addition, since the temperature in your dance studio can vary from one day to another, it’s always a good idea to have some warm-up clothes that you can easily put on when needed.

Deodorant and Cologne:
As mentioned in the beginning, forgetting your deodorant can be embarrassing, especially in those days of intense training and sweat. Having a fresh cologne handy is always convenient for the same purpose.

Healthy Snacks and Water Bottle:
Keeping a protein or granola bar in your dance bag will save your life those days when you feel a bit dizzy or when your class took longer than expected and you run out of energy. Water is the key to staying hydrated, especially if your studio doesn’t have a water fountain close by!

Makeup Bag:
Especially for an audition, carrying a small bag of makeup with your basic items can be very useful if you need to touch up your makeup to look immaculate.

Oh, and don’t forget your umbrella! You never know when it’s going to rain, especially if you live in humid Florida. Get yourself a light and tiny umbrella, so no storms catch you by surprise! Showing up all wet to your rehearsal or audition won’t make you look or feel very professional. And of course, grab your baton!
