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

4-Wheel Bags vs. 2-Wheel Bags: Choosing the Right Rolling Solution
When it comes to rolling bags, the choice between 4-wheel and 2-wheel designs can significantly impact your travel and daily activities. At Dream Duffel, we’re proud to champion our durable two-wheel design. Here’s how it compares to 4-wheel bags and why it stands out.
4-Wheel Bags: Pros and Cons
4-wheel bags, often referred to as spinner bags, are designed to glide effortlessly across smooth, flat surfaces. They excel in environments like airports and hotel lobbies, offering excellent maneuverability in tight spaces. However, they come with notable drawbacks:- - Limited Terrain Capability: The small, delicate wheels struggle on uneven surfaces like high-pile carpet or gravel, often leaving users frustrated.
- Restricted Usability: Manufacturers of 4-wheel bags frequently discourage tipping the bag to use only two wheels, as this can strain the mechanisms. This lack of flexibility can be limiting in crowded or uneven areas.
