It is important to create a checklist of items you will need for the competition. This will help ensure that you have everything you need and reduce stress. Make sure to include items such as your dance shoes, competition music, hair supplies, make-up, costumes or props, water and snacks, and any other necessary supplies. Additionally, make sure to have your registration information and release forms ready before the competition begins. Lastly, have cash or a checkbook handy in case you need to buy anything at the competition.
