Dance Competition Essentials Checklist: 14 Things You Need to Pack

March 09, 2022

Dance Competition Essentials Checklist: 14 Things You Need to Pack - St. Louis Dancewear

 

With competition season in full swing, we outlined 14 essentials to make packing a breeze.

 
 
 

You never know when you’re going to need a quick fix! Be prepared by keeping a sewing kit in your bag for those last-minute mends.

 

Stay limber and warm with a cozy wrap, leg warmers and booties. Take a look at our warm-up gear here.

 

One word: Necessary.

It’s always smart to keep an extra pair of tights in case you get a snag or rip. Want to stock up? Check out St. Louis Dancewear brand tights - which are on sale - buy one get one half off!

Small, yet mighty. And mighty important to have in your bag! Even if you don’t need them, odds are a teammate will. Pick up an extra pack on your next Target run.

 

Keep makeup and things like glitter, face-wipes and even eyedrops organized in a cosmetics bag. This is also a great place to keep an eye pair of fake eyelashes. Because we’ve all had that one eyelash that does not want to stick!

 

Great for emergencies and when you need a little help in getting something to stay in place!

 

 

A sure-fire way to stay organized on the big day is to have costumes or outfits ready to go in a garment bag. Need to grab one? Check out our clear and opaque garment bags.

 

 

Stay comfortable and supported with clear bra straps. Grab a pack here.

 

 

 

High-protein snacks are a go-to for dancers, especially during long days. Stay energized and focused with healthy, protein-friendly foods.

 

 

Stay hydrated! It’s going to be a long day! Check out our selection of dance inspired water bottles here.

 

 

Another necessity for any dancer! Keep your style intact with hairspray or gel.

 

 

 

Stay comfy and covered on your way in and out of competition day. As a bonus, make sure you don’t forget any cover ups or jackets required by your studio!

 

 

 

Be prepared to be patient and wait a while until it’s your time to perform. If you know you have some lengthy windows of waiting, cozy up with a travel pillow and blanket.

 

 
While we are sure these two items are at the top of your list, a little reminder never hurt! Mentally rehearsing with your music, or listening to a zen inducing (or pumped up!) playlist is a great way to pass the time between sets. Bring a portable charger if you have one so you don’t have to worry about finding an outlet.
