It’s performance season! After all of the rehearsal hours and hard work you've put in this year, it's time to get out on the stage and show 'em what you've got!

These are five of my must-haves - but as all dancers know, it’s far from everything you need for a performance! I’ve got a full guide to packing for performances (plus so many more goodies to get you show-ready) in my Dance Performance Bundle!
