I asked myself this very question right before my first competition. As a notorious procrastinator, I started packing the evening before the competition around midnight. The result of waiting until the last minute, and having no idea what exactly I would need, was 3 suitcases, 2 tote bags, and 4 garment bags for 2 ½ days of competition. A couple of weeks ago I competed in Killick Klassick (2 days of competing for me), and despite once again waiting until the last minute (30 minutes before I had to leave to be exact), I managed to pack everything in 1 suitcase and 2 garment bags and still left on time. How did I manage this? My competition-packing check list! I’ve uploaded my lists (women’s and men’s versions) to save you the time of compiling your own. Feel free to download a copy and customize it as you need to depending on your personal preferences, and don’t hesitate to comment with any of your must-have items that aren’t on the list! I’ve refined this list several times over the years, but I’m sure it will continue to evolve. Happy packing and happy dancing!
