Recital Survival Kit

Princess Liyah had her second dance recital of her life.  She was so nervous, which was a shock to me and her dad.  I am so happy to be a Dance Mom now that I had to inflict my organizational madness on my little one and her dance friends.


Here are the ingredients for an almost perfect recital survival kit:

I missed a few things, so I will have to update the list for the many more recitals and performances that I will be attending as a Dance Mom, and probably a Dancer again :-)

1. Bobby Pins
2. Safety Pins
3. Clear Nail Polish
4. Dance Makeup
5. Bottle of water
6. Costume Cover-up - this was the cutest creative thing at the recital because most of the dancers had their dad's dress shirts on as cover-ups.

Princess helped me create them, and we had a great time.  All of the girls in her classes loved them, and they actually used them at dress rehearsal and recital.  The recital bag and fabric markers gave the girls something to do while waiting their turn to "strut their stuff" on the stage.  Everything else are essentials, and every dancer will have to agree with me.

If you have other items that should go in the Recital Survival Kit, please share them with me by sending an email to katinya@kkldesigns.com.
