Competition Dance List – Shooting Stars Dance School

Competition season is well under way, here are just a few things to keep in mind to have smooth competition weekend.

Purchase a Dance Program.

It can be a little expensive, but it’s nice to have a schedule of the day and to know what dance your dancer is competing with, as well as to understand how the award system works.

Snacks!

This is not just for your dancer but yourself also! Having healthy snacks between lunch or dinner will help you all keep your energy levels up.

Here are a few snack ideas

Sliced Apples + Peanut Butter
String Cheese or Yogurt
Nuts
Cut Fruit
Granola Bars
Pretzels, Goldfish, Crackers

Sweater or jacket.

Venues are unpredictable and temperatures can vary widely, it is important to have warm-up clothes that you can layer on top and remove easily.

Bring Extras!

Extra tights, and leotard in case of tears, runs, or stains, you want to have a backup pair of tights and a clean leotard. There are times when a dancer is about to on stage, her tights will snag and the instructor will ask if you’ve brought an extra pair.
