My Dance Journal: A Must-Have for Every Competitive Dancer

 

Part scrapbook, part diary, all heart.

In the fast-paced world of competitive dance, memories can blur together—costumes, routines, judges' comments, travel weekends, team traditions… it’s a whirlwind. That’s why we created My Dance Journal: a space for dancers to reflect, stay organized, and capture the magic of their season.

Whether you're a dancer, parent, or studio owner, My Dance Journal is more than just paper. It's a keepsake that tells the story of a dancer’s year—goals, growth, glitter and all.

So, what’s inside?

My Dance Journal is thoughtfully divided into sections that walk dancers through every part of their season:

  • About Me: A space to express personality, passions, and dance background. (Perfect for tracking how things change over the years!)
  • About My Studio & Team: Jot down what makes your dance family special—team traditions, inside jokes, and unforgettable rehearsals.
  • This Season’s Goals: Set intentions and track progress, whether it’s nailing that triple pirouette or building confidence onstage.
  • Personal Journal + Diary: Reflect on the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
  • Competition Notes: Log routines, judges' feedback, placements, and personal wins.
  • Recital & Special Events: Capture the sparkle of those big stage moments, from recitals to parades to team bonding events.
  • End of Year Notes: Look back on everything you’ve accomplished—and start dreaming of what’s next.
  • Contacts & Glossary: Keep track of dance friends, choreographers, and helpful dance terms.

Oh—and did we mention there's room for photos? Because sometimes a picture says it all.

 

Why dancers (and dance parents) love it:

  • Helps dancers stay focused and intentional throughout the season
  • Encourages reflection, gratitude, and goal-setting
  • Becomes a personalized keepsake to look back on for years to come
  • Makes the perfect gift for holidays, birthdays, or studio exchanges ("Sister" or "Buddy" gifts, anyone?)
  • Great for dancers of all styles and levels
