yeah i think you have to be crazy next level to motivate little kids (lots of energy) and then pre teen and omg teen girls into doing what you say... lol...

100% we have more costumes, although the price on those gorgeous rhythmic leos ... OMG that is next level... (though again comparing to say a tutu from a ballet... they are pricy too). I love watching them in the olympics, those Russian twins... OMG. although they have retired now i think?

What sort of gymnastics does your club do? mine are desperate to do that too... and im like....pffff... nope (though lots of our dance girls do and most can manage walk overs and basic aerials and flips). they go to a special class at another location. my sewing kit carrys little super glue, duct tape, black and white thread, clear elastic, needles, safety pins and little snips. my "more robust one" has a few extras.

My TENS machine is awesome, i got it off Amazon, though Chemist warehouse also sell them online. does EMS TENS and massage and has two channels so can do 4 pads at once. i like it a lot.. it was fairly reasonable price too... although the pads wear out sticky fairly quick and need replacing, it ssure cheaper than physio all the time! Can highly recommend it!!

Well.... 4 hours BEFORE the dress rehearsal, the little one spiked a fever of 39.2... so it went well.... She still danced... and we made it through all 21 dances.... had a couple of hickups and one dance my big one went on with the wrong hair clips and one costume was entirely an oopps and she danced in a leotard. good thing we have the dress rehearsal. We missed dance today as she spike 40.3 temp over night and the big one as well... so its been ... as expected.... a shit show... lol
