Which Dance Bag is Right For You?

Every dancer needs a high-quality dance bag to suit his or her unique needs. There are many types and styles of dance bags on the market, manufactured by several different companies. Although lots of dancers opt to use more generic sports or duffel bags to carry their gear, bags made to cater expressly to dancers are the best choice.

The Danshuz Professional Dance Bag is currently very popular. It looks like a sleek business case with a messenger-style top flap and long shoulder strap. It features a mesh pocket for wet clothes, three internal elastic sections, a pocket just for dance shoes and a removable pouch for stage makeup and hair accessories. At less than $30, this bag fulfills most dancers’ needs. It is ideal for dancers who are looking for something minimal and stylish. Customers praise this bag for its size and ability to carry multiple types of dance shoes in an organized fashion.

Another popular bag is the Capezio Love & Peace Dance Duffel Bag. These dance bags are simply constructed with just one main compartment. They have a long shoulder strap and two shorter handles for hand carrying. The name comes from the decorative trim, which features hearts and peace signs. The Love & Peace bag is available in black and hot pink and costs $13.60. Although it does not have any special features, its price and Capezio’s long-standing reputation for quality makes this bag a bestseller, especially among young girls.Dance Bag

Horizon’s Duffel “Dance” bag has pockets and compartments on both the inside and the outside for shoes, music players, water bottles and other small items. It comes in black and has a short carrying handle. This bag is listed at $27.40. It is a good choice for dancers who study multiple disciplines and want a bag that is overtly intended for dance without being pink or featuring a cartoon drawing of pointe shoes.

Sublimation Specialties’ Dance Tote Bags are small athletic-style bags with drawstring closures that can be worn as a backpack. These dance bags are available in primary colors such as navy blue, hunter green and red. They are not very large or suited for heavy lifting, but at $3.99 they are good for dancers who carry light loads and want something with a casual or masculine look. Male dancers like this bag because of its appearance, functionality and price.

All of the aforementioned bags are popular in part because of their durability. Many dance bags are intended for children, particularly girls studying ballet, and are not intended to last very long. Older dancers who take the craft seriously should have a bag that carries all necessary supplies and can last through daily professional use.
