Everything You Need for Your Next Aerobics Competition

Essential Items for Your Next Aerobics Competition

Are you gearing up for an aerobics competition? Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or it’s your first time stepping onto the floor, being prepared is key. We’ve put together a quick and handy guide to ensure you’ve got all the essentials covered. Let’s dive in!

1. Your Costume

Your costume is the star of the show (besides you, of course!). Most aerobics competitors wear leotards or two-piece bikini-style sets that combine comfort with style. Ensure your costume is competition-approved, fits perfectly, and matches your theme. Don’t forget a matching scrunchie and wristbands to complete the look. You can purchase aerobics costumes HERE

Pro Tip: Transport your costume to the competition in a garment bag.

2. Matching Hair Scrunchie

A matching scrunchie isn’t just about style, it helps keep your hair in place during your performance. Choose one that complements your costume and stays secure through your routine. You can purchase comp scrunchies HERE.

3. Matching Competition Wristbands

You need one for each wrist. Make sure they’re snug yet comfortable and match with your costume color scheme. You can purchase comp wristbands HERE.

4. Plain White Competition Shoes

The right footwear is crucial for optimal performance & ensuring you fit within competition uniform guidelines. Plain white competition shoes, such as the Dandy 853 Aerobics Shoes, offer lightweight support and non-slip soles. Break them in well before the competition to avoid blisters and ensure maximum comfort. You can purchase aerobics competition shoes HERE

Pro Tip: Wearing white socks over your brand new pair of competition aerobics shoes & walking around inside can help break them in, while keeping them spotless. Be carefull not to slip, take care. 

5. Shimmer Tights (2 Pairs Recommended)

Shimmer tights are to be worn beneath your costume. Bring at least two pairs in case of rips or runs, ensuring one less thing to worry about on the big day. You can purchase aerobics shimmer tights HERE

Pro Tip: Spraying hairspray directly on a small run will stop it from getting bigger

6. White Crew Socks (2 Pairs Recommended)

White crew socks are an aerobics competition staple. Pack at least two pairs, one for the performance and one as a backup. You can purchase white crew socks HERE

• Hair ties

• Bobby pins

• Bun donut (if required)

9. Snacks

High-energy routines demand fuel. Pack light, nutritious snacks like protein bars, nuts, or fruit to keep your energy levels up.

10. Makeup Kit (If Applicable)

If your competition allows makeup, opt for long-lasting, sweat-proof products. Bring all the essentials, including foundation, eyeliner, and a touch of glitter for that stage-ready glow.

11. Competition Music & Paperwork

Don’t leave these behind! Ensure that you or your coach has your music on multiple devices (USB, phone, or CD) and neatly organise your registration details, in a folder for easy access.

12. Emergency Kit

Prepare for the unexpected with a small kit containing:

• Safety pins

• Needle and thread

• Spare shoelaces

• Band-Aids

• Pain relievers

13. Positive Vibes

Last but definitely not least, bring your confidence and a positive mindset. Competitions can be nerve-wracking, but with proper preparation, you’re ready to shine. Take a deep breath, focus on your routine, and enjoy the experience!
