Every dancer knows that your dance bag should carry your shoes and clothing items for class, but what else should you keep in your dance bag?

1. Water Bottle

Don't forget your H20 at home! Make sure to bring water so you stay hydrated.

Bonus tip: Personalize your water bottle with your name so it doesn't get lost!

2. Tennis Ball

Stick a tennis ball in your dance bag to roll out your feet before and after class. This will help keep your feet warm and flexible and also help to rub out any discomfort.

3. First Aid Kit

A small first aid kit with bandaids for the unexpected boo boos or blisters is always a handy thing to have.

4. Hair Kit

A few ponytail holders, a small brush, and some bobby pins are the dancer's hair necessities.

5. A Small Notebook

Jot down that choreography you don't want to forget or class information quickly.

What about you? What's in your dance bag?
