Our dance teacher is one of those amazing people — the dedication, the talent, the unending drive to make every kid the best they can be. I seriously don’t know how she does it. Every. Single. Day.

That's my boss (the head coach at our gymnastics club). Those people are next level.

My Concert Night Pack List

Dance outpaces gymnastics in costs because of the million costumes XD I really need to add painkillers to my medpouch. And also top up the adhesive bandages. And I'm still on the lookout for a mythical "perfect size" mini sewing kit that I can eventually replenish how I want when it inevitably runs out (needs to be a very specific size to fit comfortably into the mending pouch alongside existing contents).

I have a bigger bag that has a bigger medkit inside with the strapping tape. Fortunately haven't had to carry around a toolbox as every gym we've had comps in has one XD

If problems persists poor Ellie might have to get her own TENS machine if yours helped her :S I hope she got that looked at.

The whole show is a nightmare of fast changes

I did one dance concert sidestage and the kids needing the fast changes had three of us working on them simultaneously because what is this. Fortunately none of them needed drastic hair changes because some of those styles were permanently cemented in place and would outlast the heat death of the universe had a lot of hairpsray.

How did everything go? :D
