9 things you need to take to Summer dance school

9 things you need to take to Summer dance school

Are you lucky enough to be off to a dance school session or workshop this Summer? Want to make sure you have everything you're likely to need for 1 or 2 weeks away from home? Fear not! We have pulled together a list of items that need to be in your bag > Water bottle As essential item for any dancer. Hydration is key! Make sure you have a BPA-free non-glass water bottle that you refill throughout the day. Check out our new Live Love Dance water bottles at only £3.95 > Snacks Healthy snacks are recommended at regular intervals throughout the day to keep your energy levels up. Look for proteins and carbohydrates to ensure you keep dancing all day! Extra dance clothes As well as the essential dancewear you usually wear to class, don't forget to pack a few spare items. A couple of extra leotards, pairs of tights and underwear are a good idea in case of emergency. You're probably not going to have time to nip to the shop. You can check out our range of tights here >

Warm ups It's likely you'll be spending some time watching the experts at work so make sure you have suitable warm up gear to keep you cosy in your class. A pair of warm up booties will keep your feet warm between performances. We have fantastic styles available from both Bloch and Grishko.

Repair kit It's always a good idea to keep a small sewing kit in your dance bag just in case a small repair is needed to dancewear or shoes. Scissors and nail varnish are must haves.

Towel A micro-fibre towel is a great idea and squashes small enough not to take up loads of room in your bag. It also dries really quickly. We have the amazing Bloch cooling towel here.

Conditioning accessories Don't forget to pack your go-to muscle stretching, warm up and relaxation tools, so you're ready to go again early the next day. We have a whole of accessories designed to help with your dance. Shop here >

Notebooks It's a good idea to keep a notebook handy so you can jot down notes during class. We have a lovely range of notebooks with beautiful dance designs from LikeG and Danzarte available. Personal care Stock up on those essentials such as baby wipes, tootpaste, hair pins and hair spray. You never know when you'll need them. Once you're bags are packed with everything you'll need, there's nothing left to do but have a great time!
