The Ultimate Dance Bag Checklist for Kids

A dance bag is a great item for your child to have on hand when going to and from the dance studio each week. Not sure what your child should include? Take a look below for some great ideas!

For Younger Students:

• Dance Shoes: Store all dance shoes (labelled with your child’s name) to prevent mix-ups, especially for multiple lessons requiring different footwear.

• Warm-Up Wear: Include items like leg warmers, ballet skirts, or sweatshirts for pre-class warm-up and comfort.

• Cover-Ups: Pack a cover-up for after class to keep your child warm as they leave the studio.

For Older Students:

• Snack & Water Bottle: Ensure your child has a leak-proof water bottle and healthy snack for energy during breaks. Check studio policies on food.

• Cash: Pack a small amount of cash for vending machines or food purchases.

• Homework: If your child has downtime between classes, send schoolwork to complete in designated areas like a lounge or waiting room.

• Hair Ties & Accessories: Keep extras like bobby pins, hair ties, and a brush for quick hair adjustments to maintain neatness during class.

• Deodorant: A stick of deodorant helps older dancers stay fresh after intense classes, boosting confidence.

• Band-Aids: For blisters or minor injuries during practice.

• Tissues, Wipes, and Hand Sanitizer: For quick clean-ups after class or during breaks.

These items ensure that your child is prepared, comfortable, and organized for both younger and older students’ dance classes!
