Shopping edition
My dance season kicks off in just a week, and as always, one of my favorite rituals is checking my dance attire for the months ahead. It’s not only a practical step but also a joyful excuse to shop for new pieces, order essentials in advance, and feel prepared for those busy weeks filled with school and work.
Without a checklist, though, this ritual can quickly turn into a risky adventure—leading to unnecessary purchases or duplicate items that end up forgotten in the wardrobe.
That’s why I’ve put together a general shopping list for the dance season, and I’m excited to share it with you. Think of it as a starting point: you can adjust it depending on the style of dance you practice, and I recommend double-checking with your school or dance company for any specific requirements they might have.
The list is neatly categorized to make shopping easier. You’ll find essentials like:
Attire & accessories – dance wear, shoes, workout wear, personal items
Self Care – Make-up, hair care, skin care, hydration and nutrition
Essentials – Tech and gadgets, workout gear, point shoe prep kit, note-taking/organization, and first aid kit
Wishing you a wonderful shopping experience and an inspiring dance season ahead! I hope this list helps you feel organized, confident, and ready to shine.
