Good to know

  • The suggestions follow the class's style: ballet suggests ballet shoes and pink tights, for example. Anything already on the list, or under YOUR ITEMS, is left out.
  • Same as picks the class most like this one: the same dancer first, then the same style, then the one with the most items.
  • There is one list for each class, shared by every dancer in it.
  • You can also choose essentials when you add a class, on its Class essentials step.
  • The class reminder says Check your bag before you head out. Tap it to open the class and its list.
  • Removing an item happens straight away, with no question first.
