In addition to this, you would want to carry a dance bag with you at each dance class where you will pack a few essential items that every ballet dancer should have. Choosing the right ballet shoes from a reputable dance costume store is essential. There are many different types of ballet shoes that differ in both design and quality. I would recommend getting at least two different pairs of shoes, especially when going on an audition.
Some of the most important features to look out for when choosing ballet shoes for a dance costume store include material and comfort. Make sure the shoes of your choice are made from a top quality fabric that wont damage easily. They should be comfortable to wear as well and provide you with the desired amount of support when doing different ballet dance moves.
Aside from investing in a great pair of ballet shoes, packing extra tights and leggings is another important thing to consider when preparing for your dance class. So when you start to sweat excessively while practising you can easily put on another clean pair of tights or leggings, depending on what you're wearing that day.
Last but not least, make sure your hair is always neatly styled in a high ponytail or a bun. When not styled properly it can easily get in your face and this can be really annoying when you're trying to focus on your practice and dance moves. To create a neat hairstyle you will need a comb, hairbrush, hairspray and a few elastic ties and pins.
