9 Essential Things No Dancer Would Leave Home Without. EVER!

I am (and I hope that I am) a lot of things, but my favourite of all is being a dancer. For those who know; nothing liberates the soul like dancing does. And for those who don’t; you have no idea what you’re missing out on! I am aware that there are other forms of art and craft that help in articulating expressions without using words, but nothing comes close to the divinity you can achieve just by stretching your limb! Take it from someone who does it every day…

But apart from hard work, rhythm and agility, there is a list of things that play a crucial role in attaining that divinity. Things that no dancer can do without. Let me rephrase that; essential every-day items that no dancer can leave home without. Nah uh!

If you’re wondering, don’t! We have that list handy and it comes with everything you’ll ever need.

1. Dancing shoes: For your happy feet! ?

…of every kind. Because who knows what you’ll need when. And believe me, nobody wants to do salsa in ballerinas! So look all you want, there will always be options with a dancer!

 

2. First-aid kit: So that no injury comes in your way! ⛑

No dancer can afford to skip the lessons and the rehearsal. But in case of any accident, there should always be a mini first-aid kit ready to patch up the wound in time.

 

3. Protein supplements: Because a dancer’s grace comes from their strength! ?

Being ‘hangry’ is the worst thing ever! And no dancer can move swiftly with a growling tummy. So no matter what, healthy munchies are a MUST!

 

4. Make-up: To look like a rockstar on stage! ? ? ?

Everyone knows the importance of presentation! And moreover, a little mascara hurts no one. In fact, an opportunity always calls out for some.

 

5. Noise canceling earphones: For an undisturbed session! ?

Nobody knows the importance of these like a dancer does. Whether you need a couple of unperturbed hours to rehearse or pass time before a stressful audition, these always come handy!

 

6. Deodorant/anti-prespirant: Because dancing means a LOT of sweating! ?

The biggest fear of any dancer is nothing but turning into a stink bomb, in and after practice sessions. So don’t get surprised if you found a week’s supply of deodorant in a performer’s bag!

 

7. Change of clothes: Because…you never know! ?

This item passes off as an inevitable item in the day of a dancer! Always be prepared for a rainy day, because no artist leaves home without a clean towel and sweatshirt!

 

8. Mini sewing kit: Because that costume can rip any minute! ?

‘A stitch in time saves nine’. In this case, even more than that! You cannot take on a stage and break it with an ill-fitted costume!

 

9. Stayfree XL Ultra-thin: Because periods can’t stop you! ? ?

Out of everything in this list, this item right here is an absolute MUST. Dancing during periods is not easy. The regular thick pads too often are an obstruction to movement and an unnecessary distraction. But not when you have Stayfree XL Ultra-thin. It is thin yet it locks upto 100% period flow.

Now, no matter what time of the month it is, don’t shy away from making the move! 🙂
