What should I bring as a survival kit for my gigs? I'm a bellydancer.?

I have a small bag for my jewelery, repair-sewing kit, make-up box, and hair-accessories, it's all in one. And of course I have a small travel suitcase with wheels and a hanging hook to prevent my costumes from creasing or becoming clumped up. And I always carry 3 of everything in my costumes for any mishaps, mistakes, tears not noticed, stains not seen or to replace for any other reason. As well as my props. Am I missing anything else?

That's a pretty good start. I would also suggest if you don't have this already to make sure you have a back-up copy of your music and also it should be on both tape and CD. Most restaurants and other gigs now have CD players but you occasionally you still come accross someone who only has a tape player but then theres also the possibility of the CD player not working for one reason or another. Also with CD's make sure you always use a professionally made disk or a CD+-R because CD+-RW's do not work well in older machines which are still prevalent enough to make this an issue. I would also suggest you not forget emergency health items such as feminine products in case something comes unexpectedly and some aleeve(or your prefered analgesic) for headaches, soreness, and even menstrual cramping. Also make sure you have a tweezers, if not for last minute beutification keep them in case you ever dance over broken glass or get a sliver from a wood floor (It happens!). Bandaids would also be a goood thing to have incase you ever get a small injury, they also work well to cover spots on your feet if you get blisters from your dance shoes (if you wear them). Deodorant is always something you should pack as well as perfume. That way you can reapply them just before going on to ensure you smell you best. Crazy glue or frey check are great for stopping a broken strand of beads from continuing to worsen. If you have vision problems it's always a good idea to pack spere glasses or contacts/solution. A towel to wipe your self off with is nice to have. Also, talcum powder is good to sprinkle on sweaty hands when using a prop so it does not fly out of your hands.

Sounds like you've thought of everything already, but a small CD player for warm-up music %26amp; snacks %26amp; water %26amp; a notebook?

Excellent advice as always Cassandra. :)

In our group, we usually make sure to have safety pins and duct tape. Duct tape can help keep your bosom from popping out of your top and exposing more than you planned. Plus, it can help in many other ways.
