Whats in your dance bag

[Lee Bartholomew]

Prob been done before, but times change as do forumites (except DJ. Can't belive he will ever cheer up)

Inspired by Martins comment

I take, underarm stuff, flannel, towel and changes of tops as standard bag kit, along with plasters, safety pins and headache tablets (although the last 3 are mainly for the girlies ).

What do you keep in your dance bag (other than shoes)

I try and keep in there plasters, deodorant, wet wipes (brilliant if put in freezer prior to going out), cooling gel, after shave and swiss army knife (though needed it for the first time in all the years I carried it last night and it wasn't in there)

To encourage BlueEyes to do the moves properly *







*Where my trousers are quite long a thread came loose and was annoying me.

[Astro]

Cheese and onion crisps, not.

she didn`t need any encouragement last saturday night!! you emptied your MJ Move manual onto the dancefloor and she wasn`t reluctant at all......

There's been a few threads about this before, like this one. I think Sheepman wins when it comes to ridiculous amounts of rubbish he carries around with him in his VERY LARGE dance bag!

[Astro]

Arnica homeopathic tablets from Boots.

If I get injured, one disolved under the tongue, (without water) will stop a minor injury developing and also stop swelling.

That is a LOT, although that was 2003, so still worth talking about up to date what people take.

I did not mention....

Pack of music CD's
1 suitable for a beginner revision class
1 suitable for a beginner class
1 suitable for an intermediate class
10 of general music, in case the music system used breaks down and CD's are needed.
In the car boot I keep a CD player.
Not that I run the venues here, but they have been called upon a few times. Something goes wrong... I can still dance and have a good evening
Teachers forget music for the class... still no problem

1 bottle of water - always, although not taken out in venues where not allowed, still good for the journey home.

Mints

Computer memory stick

Plastic bag for "sweaty" tops.


All fits in a normal size bag.

[Raul]

Has anybody mentioned their trophy/ies yet?


btw are the plasters usually for dansels in distress or for unfortunate victims of your own exuberance?

[Martin]

I think woodface has one

Are you trying to get us off line - Naughty Raul

[Twirly]

Small towel or flannel
Deodorant
Fan
Insoles for my shoes

That's about it - I always have mints, make-up, perfume, pain killers, etc. with me anyway, so it's not specific to the "dance bag". Might take Astro's suggestion and start carrying Arnica - I have some at home left over from the accident.

One thing that I'm curious about - we see men referring to the changing of their tops. Do many women carry spare tops with them and change them? I have done it in the summer when it's been very hot, but generally I'm wearing an "outfit" which means a dress or a skirt/trousers and top that go together. I don't generally buy multiple tops that are identical as it would be too expensive.

If you do not perspire, all good.

It is generally hot in Australia, the women who leak a bit, tend to take changes of clothing.

I stopped doing it, we should take a spare just in case.
I like to keep the weight down in my bag though.

A male dancer split his trousers one night, early on, and had to go home.
I see Sheepman carries spare trousers.

I thought your Air Conditioning actually works in Oz. (unlike here)

Air con does work, but can only do so much...

Some women "glow" some do not. Some men "sweat like pigs", some do not...
