What You Need For A Successful Pointe Experience

Besides the obvious (pointe shoes) there are a few things that you should always keep in your dance bag to help ensure that you have a successful pointe experience.

Every pointe dancer should the following items in a little bag/container in their dance bag:

• Bandages - And, while we're talking about bandages, pointe dancers should wear transition tights so if they get blisters they can get at their feet without having to take off their tights.

• Medical tape

• Nail clippers

• Sewing needle

• Thread - ballet pink or white... or try this sewing kit for everything all in one place!

• Small scissors

• Thimble

• Comb / brush

• Hair ties / hair bands

• Bobbie pins & hair pins

• Hair net

• Hair clips

Now go out and find yourself a cute little cosmetic bag or something similar and fill it up with the goodies listed above! Once you have all of your stuff, be sure to put it in your dance bag! And if you need help with making a ballet bun, check out my post and learn how!
