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

High Bun with Braid Before and Later
These first pictures were my first attempts at a high bun with a braid. 
Finally, I made her VERY fine super long, uneven, curly hair into the below high bun with a braid! I am still very proud of this. I realize it may be a bit big but for my first comp season ever, we both survived and I felt good about how her bun/braid ended up each competition this season!
Phew! Survived this bun with a braid! I only have to do this two more times this year for rehearsal and recitals! (Yep...two recitals as she takes a rec class plus on a team!) I know she is a lightweight compared to many that take lots of classes. My shy girl needed to start small. We found out she loves dance so much and doesn't tire of it!
Happy Mother's Day and keep on Dance Mommin'!

First Year of Comps Completed!
Hi Dance Mom Friends!
Phew!
My daughter and I just completed our first year of Dance Comps (Competitions)! I say "our" because I had to learn all about this Dance Mommin' thing! (Thought the name for the blog should be this as well.) :-) For my 6 year old dancer (now 7, birthday was in March in the middle of our competition season) it was a blast and all she had to do was learn her dance(s) and let mommy learn how to do hair, make up, buy bags after bags after bags, then learn to pack them, etc... Soo much!
I am not a "fancy" lady that wears a lot of make up (very basic). Also, I don't style my hair other than wash it, let it dry, and brush it. It's my style...plain. :-) Sooo, learning to do all this "fancy" stuff was a challenge. I will say...I have LOVED every minute of it and so proud of my accomplishments, as far as, hair and make up. I have much more to learn and looking forward to all the challenges.
My daughter loved her first year as a team dancer and loves the stage! She was on our studio's youngest team ages 4-6 years old. She was/is on the young Musical Theater team. It was definitely a great genre to begin teams with for her. She will be trying out for Lyrical, Jazz, and Tap teams for the next dance season. Fingers crossed! She is now 7 years old...so, for our studio, she is still on the younger end of the teams.
Sooo, if my daughter gets on the listed teams...that could mean up to 4 dances (aka: 4 costumes) for the next season. I have a feeling this is going to be another whole year of learning again. With quick changes with the hair, make up and costumes. Yikes!
For the above reasons, I felt it was a great time to start a blog of my experiences and where I find items, what is necessary, what is not, and any other random new found knowledge that might help another mom out there! Also, I hope to get advice out there from seasoned dance moms!
Thank you for visiting!
Until Next Time...Keep on Dance Mommin'!
