    what happens when its too dark to find your torch?

    it's all that blues dancing - you get used to fumbling around in the dark with your eyes closed, relying on touch rather than anything else: knew it had to be useful for something

    Am I the only one who just has a bag (well, a box) with shoes in?

    Re: What do you pack in your dance bag?

    Used to be a big bag, many shoes, many tops, plasters, safety pins.

    Now it is, for regular class nights, a towel, a big bottle of water and a hankie in the pocket to wipe of extra moisture during the class time.

    Spare tops are kept in the car should they be needed, along with the plasters and safety pins.

    The venues I go to, supply underarm sprays, hand cleaning stuff. I have worked out, I really do not need my mobile phone with me when dancing.

    As to shoes, I wear RM's (RM Williams boots) leather soles, rubber heal. I find I can now cope with any surfaces with these (and they can be worn to the venue).

    Re: What do you pack in your dance bag?

    Some of the stuff on the poll list plus:

    Ear plugs
    Scissors
    Nail file
    Keyring torch
    Pen and Paper
    Toe tape
    Wet Wipes
    Tissues
    Hand sanitising foam

    PS: I'm amazed how many people take safety pins. What for? Are they just in the bag from competition numbers, or in case of some sort of clothing mishap? Has anyone ever actually used one?

    I have. It came in very handy during a trouser zip malfunction.

    Yes, if you dig the pin into your eye it will distract you from the pain as you extract your parts from your zip

    Safety pins are the thing I most often get asked for, usually for clothing malfunctions (boys and girls). "Tit tape" is the second most popular request, although that's, usually, just from the girls

    I've had that as well (mid-dance), but unfortunately it was too big a rip for safety pins to be of any use!

    remembered another item that I keep in my dance bag this weekend as it was needed

    Glue - the sort that is suitable for sticking soles back onto shoes

    Re: What do you pack in your dance bag?

    Am intrigued to learn that some people pack golf balls in their dance bags. Am I missing a trick here?! Please let me in on the secret!
