Hey guys, Mikayla here!
So every year I have roughly have 8 competitions including showcase at the end of the year. So here are some tips on how to be organised
~COSTUMES:
>get these organised a few days before the competition
> check them to see if there is any holes, rips or runs
> sew anything that needs to be sewn
>iron parts of your costume that needs to be ironed and hang it up so it doesn't get crinkled
~STOCKINGS/TIGHTS
> make sure your stockings don't have any runs or rips in them
> take a spare pair just in case
~SHOES:
>obviously need these so put every single pair of dance shoes that you have just in case, you can never be to prepared
~DANCE BAG:
> Organise your bag the day before
> put stockings, shoes and small sewing kit+ any thing you need
> if you have heaps of dances think of getting a dream duffel one of my friends has these and they are very good she can fit everything in there and it separates into compartments and the is like a rack were you hang your costumes on.
~IF YOU HAVE A QUICK CHANGE IN BETWEEN DANCES:
> I have to do this a lot at showcase so I'm the pro (not😹) but anyway. First thing is see if you can move your costume,makeup and any hair pieces you need closest to the stage there is always a bathroom close to the stage at the competitions I go to.
> if you can't do this you will have to run faster and be quick, it's hard at first but then it gets easier
~THE NIGHT BEFORE:
> Before you go to sleep have a glass of water it will help you sleep and you won't have bags under your eyes in the morning
> make sure you go to bed early and get a great night sleep
~ON THE DAY:
> wake up at least two hours before you have to leave or even a hour before but I have to wake up two hours because I am a stress head and need half an hour to de-stress😂
> make sure you have a positive attitude the worst that can go wrong is you don't place or you fall over on stage.

QOTC: do you get really nervous before competitions?
AOTC: I get really nervous for little competitions but when I go to nationals I don't get nervous ( doesn't make sense to me either)
