Tick Every Box: How to Find a Dance Bag That Holds It All

Costume steamed – tick. Makeup packed – tick. Spare tights for those uh-oh moments – tick. Snacks for between rounds – tick. It looks like your little one is ready for her competition, and you’re probably the one doing the packing (or at least helping). Unless you’re planning to make that classic competition-mum entrance, carrying everything except common sense, you’ll need a proper bag that holds it all.

Dance bags are not a random supermarket bag you grabbed on the way out the door. They’re made to carry, organise, and protect everything you and your little one could need on the big day. Anyone in the dance world will tell you that these bags are not a marketing hype. They’re a backstage lifesaver when things don’t go as planned while she’s waiting for her turn to perform and a mum’s sanity-saver, because you’re the one keeping it all together, after all. 

Many of today’s dance bags for sale are designed out of dancer (and parent) frustration. These people have lived the hustle, the rush, and the struggle of carrying garment bags, suitcases, and makeup cases on competition day. Therefore, every feature of a dance bag is made with real-life problems in mind, not just to look pretty.

The Wardrobe Essentials of a Female Ballet Dancer

The Wardrobe Essentials of a Female Ballet Dancer

Ever since I told you my story about how I became a ballerina, somehow I became more interested in encouraging my little cousin to become one. She already had an itch for it, and it was like I saw myself in her. Every time she talked to me about ballet, my heart would start to pump like crazy. It was like being seven all over again.
