After many years of working and living in the dance world, we’ve picked up a few tricks here and there. In this post we’ll let you know 5 of our all-time favourite tips and tricks for everyday dancer problems.

1: Keeping Hair Pins in Place

Spraying bobby pins with hairspray before putting them into your hair makes them far more likely to stay in place.

2: Breaking in New Shoes

Using a blowdryer to heat the insides of new shoes before wearing them helps break them in much faster.

3: Treating a Blister

Oral anesthetic gel can numb small blisters, cuts, and bruises in a pinch.

4: Sewing a Tear

Dental floss can double as industrial-strength thread on any rips or tears that happen unexpectedly.

5: Massaging Sore Feet

Use a tennis ball to massage sore feet and muscles when your tools aren’t on hand.
