Itchy Dance Costume!? | What we tried for my daughter's costume!
Hi Dance Mommin' (Daddin') World!
Has your child ever had an itchy costume/dance wear or simply makes marks on their skin? My daughter's Jazz Competition Dance Costume this year (2018) was very itchy and worse than that began rubbing red marks on her skin. Sometimes they have to wear these costumes for hours waiting for their dance to go on...so it does matter. I searched and searched and found this awesome "tape." I wanted something that didn't require putting something on her skin or wearing extra layers underneath and his is what I found.
Check out her video to see how I put the tape on this tricky costume. It is tricky as she is very small and the costume straps are tiny but I made it work and she has no marks!
Let me know if you have tried this and what you think? Also...help my daughter reach 100 subscribers on her channel by subscribing, sharing her videos, hitting the bell to not miss any videos, watch the video and other videos she has plus...if you can...give her a thumbs up (like). Her Birthday is in March and would love to have her reach 100 subs by the second week of March.
Love,
Dance Mommin' Melanie

My Girl's Competition Rolling Garment Dance Bag
Check out my daughter's latest YouTube Video...finally a "dance video!" :-) This video is how much she gets into her Dream Duffel (not sponsored and I do not represent this company; however, I love their products). She has the small. I am afraid after this season we will need to upgrade to the Medium! Any thoughts on the Dream Duffel sizes and what you use for your dancer? How many costumes and items do you fit into your rolling garment bag? Do you use another brand? This Dance Mom is "all ears!" I am always looking to make competition time as easy and smooth as possible. Also, the less bags, the better! LOL
Thank you for your comments on this! Seriously, could use any advice! This is just my second year as a competition "Dance Mom."
Without further adieu...here is the video: (it is always helpful for my girl for fellow dancers/dance moms to "like, share, view, subscribe (hit the bell), and comment" on any of her videos! Are you a youtuber too? Let me know in the comments so I can follow and all the above! :-)
Keep Calm and Dance Mom On!
Love,
This Dance Mom at Comp Time!

My dancer girl's latest YouTube Videos
Hello Dancer Friends!
My dancer daughter has a new video out...actually a couple since my last post. The "What I got for Christmas" video shows that she got a "bling kit" for Christmas. We are hoping to get some likes and comments saying that viewers would like to see a video about her dream duffel and how it is packed and how she decorated her bag! :-) The other Video I am going to add in this post is her best slime recipe she has tried thus far...also her favorite to play with! Air Dry Clay Slime made with model magic that she got for Christmas in an art kit.
Enjoy and thank you for supporting my tiny dancer!
Thank you for watching and Reading!
Just a fellow Dance Mom....Dance Mommin' through Competition Season!
If you would like to see a certain video by my girl on her channel...let us know with a comment here or on her videos. Example: Dream Duffel Video, Something about Dancing, Turn Board, Competition Costumes (after comp season of course), Hair/Makeup, or if you have an idea!
Thank you!

2017-18 Dance Season has officially begun!
School is back in session and so is Dance!
It is an exciting time....seeing who is on the team(s); what songs might be "the song"; and just simply getting into the schedule for the season. So far so good!
I am getting my girl to her classes on time. It isn't easy since two of her classes begin at 4:30 and I don't get off work until 4:15. We are making it though. My daughter changes while I finish up "bus duty." (Yep...I am a teacher...blessed for what time I get off work and the fact the studio is only 5 minutes from the school. Don't understand how other moms do it!?)
Making friends at the studio has been a blessing for my daughter and myself as well. I have had a couple moms volunteer over the summer to pick up my girl for those early classes since their daughters are also at my school and they are going to the same place, etc... So I really appreciate these amazing "Dance Moms" that are at the studio. I haven't had to take them up on it yet; however, it is so nice that if I get called to a meeting or just simply there is no way I can get her there...I can count on these ladies.
My girl has 6 classes one week and then 7 classes on the opposite weeks. (One dance is only every other week.) Due to the fact she is in only team classes...(and you all know this)...I can not discuss details of any of her classes. Sometimes this is the hardest part....confidentiality of the dance team life. :-) It can be great for us all as well. We live in a world of "over sharing" so this dance "no no" is a good way to be the "old normal." At least I feel that way. Just get to watch her dance and chat with other moms and dads about the day without picking up the phone to snap a pic of every move. LOL :-)
Happy Dance Mommin' out there!
Sorry to cut this short...it's the weekend and this mom just wants to relax.
Sincerely,
Dance Mommin' Melanie

Makeup Products that are must haves for Dance!
Makeup Must Haves
I learned a lot (not everything...for sure) about makeup and hair last competition season. I definitely feel more prepared for this year. Of course, I do not yet know the Hair Style requirements yet. :-) (Praying it will be easy for me but I also love learning how to do new things.)
I learned when preparing to put makeup on my tiny dancer that primer was important for the eyelids to keep the eye shadow in place and go on smoother.
Here is a favorite from Avon:
Another fabulous item I just never got to purchase last year because I got the advice kinda late into the dance comp season is Makeup Setting Spray! I have already purchased mine for my girl for this upcoming season. Can't wait to use it as it takes sooo long to get all that makeup on. Nice to know I have something to set it and keep the makeup in place!
Do you have your setting spray yet?
Check it out here:
