Secrets of a Successful Dancer...It's all in the Bag

Sure there are significant qualities like great technique, proportional body, great headshots, and resumes that can make or break a dancer but the true success behind any great professional is the contents of his/her dance bag. If it contains the right amount of items one can be prepared for any situation and never go wrong.

Here are a few essential things I think every dancer should have:

1) Tennis Ball: perfect for rolling out those achy muscles

 

2) Toe Tape: keep way the pointe shoe blisters

 

3)Band-aids: never know when a boo boo will occur

4) Theraband: stretchhh

 

5) Water bottle: have to stay hydrated

6) Emergen-C: perfect little packet full of Vitamin C and energy

 

7) Nuts: ideal snack to munch on

 

8) Needle and thread: for sudden wardobe/shoe malfunctions
