Hey!! I thought I’d take you with me as I prep for yet another long dance competition weekend!

We are in the thick of competition season and if you are anything like me you have so much to juggle when going away for the whole weekend. Even, right now I’m writing this at 12 am the night before I leave! Here are my fool proof tips and tricks to be prepared and present while at competitions with my students!

1. Comfort over Fashion
   • I know there is a ton of pressure to wear the cutest and trendiest styles. BUT, that can be done while still being comfortable. DO NOT wear anything heeled or pants you can’t move in. You will be up and down, and probably sprinting for your life at some point. Wear the sneakers!
2. Bring Snacks
   • As a teacher you can be pulled in so many different directions and before you know it you are starving. Having a quick little snack can really save you in a pinch!
3. Take an Everything Shower Before Leaving for the Weekend
   • This is a game changer. It makes you feel refreshed as I arrive and I get to feel clean and ready for the weekend. Taking time for you in a long day of helping others is important!
4. Look and Listen!
   • Dance competitions can be inspiring don’t forget to absorb the talent and get inspired!

I hope this short list helps you out as you pack and prepare for your dance competitions! Now I have to get to packing! See ya!
