It was our first dance competition and I was feeling completely clueless- let alone downright confused- on what to expect at our first dance competition (dance numbers, call times?) Having both of my daughters compete in multiple dances, I wanted to make sure we didn’t miss a beat! With the help of several seasoned dance moms, I compiled the 5 things I must have for a dance competition!
Rac n Roll “The original dressing room on wheels” came highly recommended among my dance mom friends. And I have to say, I’m absolutely loving the purchase. Not only do they have several size and color options, but the 360 all-terrain wheels make it so easy to travel with. It’s a bag and garment rack all in-one, with optional privacy curtain for quick costume changes. It also features multiple storage compartments, including an insulated front pocket which has come in handy for our healthy snacks.
Amazon Stool– I bought 2 of these and they fit nicely in our bag. They are compact, easy to set up, reasonably priced. These stools have come in handy so many times, especially when there are no extra chairs available. A lot of times we use one stool to place our makeup kit on for fast touch-ups.
Hanging Makeup Bag– I love this bag not just for dance comps but any kind of traveling. It has multiple compartments to hold all of your things and a convenient rotating hanger for easy access. I love that I can hang it right on our rack and how it expands/condenses for easy traveling.
Mirror– This foldable mirror is very handy to have for last minute costume and makeup checks. Love that it hangs and is long-length.
Compact Garment Rack- At first I was just hanging costumes on my Rac n Roll curtain rod, but there never seemed to be enough space or organization. This foldable garment rack was a game changer for adding a system to the chaos of costume changes and organization. I love that it folds down very small for traveling.
