Dance comps are really exciting, intense, and let’s be real — a little chaotic! Between packing costumes, double-checking accessories, and making sure you have enough bobby pins to last a lifetime, it’s easy to forget something important. But don’t stress—we’ve got your back!

This lifesaving list will make sure you have everything you need—from costumes and tights to last-minute must-haves like hairspray, safety pins, and snacks (because let’s be honest, competition days are long!).

 And just in case anything goes wrong during rehearsal or at the show, you may want to have one of our Dancer Problems Kits handy. They are full of clever remedies to common dancer problems
