6 Items Dancers Should Have In Their Dance Bags

May 31, 2018 · Beauty, Fitness, Gear

Are you a dancer or do any form of hobby dancing? Have you ever been near a dance studio and just watched dancers come and go?

Huge Dance Bags

If you are one or have ever observed some, you probably noticed they all seem to carry huge dance bags.

Dancers have to be prepared and ready to “show their stuff” at any moment. If someone asks whether you can do a dance, you must be able to show you can. Saying, “I can, but I don’t have my shoes with me.” Before the words escape your lips, they have turned to another dancer.

As you grow and you advance, you will need more great dance costumes and convenience. Shopping online with a professional makes a dancers life much easier and your wardrobe is always cutting edge.

The Basic Dancer’s Go Bag

A dancer always has a “go bag” and she can be out the door in nothing flat and with them, they will have every basic. They take inventory of their bag often and will have their basics before the item is rendered unusable, it is replaced.

These dance bags are perfect to also pack your gym stuff in as they have lots of space. Basically, this is what they will house for the immediate dance need:

  • 3 pair of tights:
    • Black
    • White
    • Optional colour (usually pink)
  • Extra leotard, you can order from JustForKix.com (in case the one being worn becomes soiled or torn)
  • Dance pants
  • Wrap around dance skirt
  • Warm up outfit
  • Towel

Dance Shoes

Depending on the type of dance you perform, you’ll have one or a few of these in your dance bags:

  • Ballet shoes
  • Pointe
  • Jazz sneakers
  • Tap shoes
  • Flip flops to change into after you’re done

Hair Needs

A dancer who is continually pushing her hair back from her face is noted as the dancer who was unprepared.

You’ll need a toothpaste that keeps your teeth white without bleaching them and ruining them. The AP24 toothpaste is one great brand trusted and used by millions as it naturally whitens your teeth without ruining your enamel. It also comes without fluoride.

But don’t take my word for it, here are a few photo testimonials that you can check out:Teeth Before After AP24 toothpaste Teeth Before After AP24 toothpaste Teeth start to 3 weeks after use of AP24 toothpaste Elle magazine AP24 toothpaste testimonial

These items should be in your bag:

  • Brush or comb
  • Elastic bands
  • Hairpins or barrettes
  • Hairspray
  • Personal products:
    • Antibacterial wipes
    • Toothbrush
    • Toothpastes
    • Breath mints
    • Deodorant
    • Body spray
    • Feminine products




Other Necessities

  • A plastic bag for dirty items you changed out of
  • Protein bars or protein powder to make a shake
  • Water bottle
  • Shaker bottle (optional)
  • Enough cash to get home

You never know when you are going to find yourself across town due to an audition or special request. Pack the following to ensure you don’t get into any sticky situations.

If you have to rush from one place to another you may have to freshen up on the go. Have an emergency battery or solar operated charger for your cell phone. You can get them for less than $20.00 and some are lipstick-sized and can attach to your car keys.

  • A small pen and paper
  • Dry shampoo
  • Basic makeup items
  • Emergency cellphone charger

Get it in Travel Size

While this list is long, it will all fit into a dance bag. Much of the items on this list are available in travel size. If you set up two bags, one is ready while the other goes with you.

Replenishing the supplies when you return ensures you are always ready to do. In the world of dance, being in the right place at the right time is everything.

The Gist of it

Dance is an art form the world cherishes. But funding is not always easy to come by. The average dancer has to watch their budgets carefully. This is why it is important to take advantage of quality supplies. Money wasted on substandard projects is painful for the dancer. It comes down to being physical, socially, and financially prepared through planning.

Are there any items you’d consider adding that I forgot to include?

With the pandemic increasing, demand for health an With the pandemic increasing, demand for health and wellness products, bath and body care are becoming more popular. 

@cleanlogic products have anti-microbial protection to prevent growth of bacteria 🦠 or mold. 

I’ve tried the dual texture exfoliating body scrubber 🧽 , facial pads with an exfoliating side and a microfiber side to remove makeup, and the detox purifying charcoal body scrubber. 

They’re made with clean ingredients, have recyclable packaging, are cruelty free and contain Braille to help the visually impaired read their labels. In  addition, a portion of the proceeds go towards blind and visually impaired charities.

Give it a try!

Tomorrow’s our last day in 2020. So happy new ye Tomorrow’s our last day in 2020. So happy new year 🎆 early! It has been an interesting year 🧐, not just the pandemic, but personally, growth, challenges and several new beginnings. It has also made me realize how important it is to inform people about the suffering of others, even if it’s not a niche I specialize in as a blogger/micro-influencer. Passing the message onto the rest of us is what may help their plight to gain human rights, improve their living conditions, live safely  without fear, or get them access to help. On that note, may 2021 bring on better days for all!

What are you looking forward to in 2021?
