The right tools help you get through a long night of teaching! It is important to fuel your body and your mind so you can be your best self for the entirety of your night at the studio!
- The right bag for you!
- I believe a backpack is the best! As opposed to a shoulder bag or tote, backpacks provide more organization and are overall more organized

- Laptop (or iPad)
- As a first-year teacher, I would use my phone for everything, playing music, recording dances, etc. This posed many challenges, so now I always have a second electronic on hand!

- SNACKS!
- I always need a snack while teaching! It is very important to keep your body fueled as you move around for hours. However, these snacks need to be quick and clean.
- My favorite snacks: GoMacro Bars, Fruit Leathers (any brand), trail mix
- Water Bottle
- Along with snacking you also need to drink as much water as possible! Find a water bottle that works for you and use it. I tend to make myself hold my water bottle when possible to remind myself to drink it.

- Jacket/ Sweatshirt
- I don’t know about you but my studio is always cold for me. Most studios will feel cold because they keep it cooler for the hard-working dancers! Keep this in mind and bring yourself a little jacket to wear for the start of class.
