What To Pack for Performances

Dancers usually carry quite a makeup kit to performances. It is a good idea to buy all the emergency and preparation items beforehand, to assure everything runs smoothly.

Some items to include are:

• Bobby pins/hair accessories (lots and lots and lots)
• Makeup
• Hairspray
• Safety pins and sewing kit
• Double stick tape/glue
• Bandaids and ointment
• Copy of the edited stage music for practice
• Extra pair of tights & pointe/jazz/tap shoes
• All costumes, tights, shoes and head pieces required- check 3 times :-)
• Water
• Smiling face
• Pain tolerance for when mum is doing your hair.
