Offline By Aerie OG Cotton High Waisted Legging
My dancer loves the Offline by Aerie OG Cotton High Waisted Leggings — they’re her go-to for dance practice. They’re soft, comfortable, and easy to move in.
The quality has held up well through lots of washes, which is always a win in a dance mom’s world.
My three takeaways:
✔️ Soft, breathable cotton feel with 4-way stretch
✔️ Light support that’s comfortable for long practices
✔️ Great quality for the price (especially with Aerie’s leggings sale happening now!)
If you’re looking to refresh your dancer’s practice wear, this is a great time to check them out.
Owala FreeSip Twist Stainless Steel Water Bottle
The perfect dance bag essential? A water bottle that actually keeps up.
We are longtime fans of Owala, and the Owala FreeSip Twist Stainless Steel Water Bottle is a favorite in our house. The FreeSip spout is what makes it stand out — she can sip upright through the built-in straw or tilt it back for a quick drink between routines.
As a dance mom, I’m a huge fan of the leak-proof, no-spill design.
My three takeaways:
✔️ FreeSip spout with straw or sip option
✔️ Leak-proof + no spills in the dance bag
✔️ Insulated stainless steel that keeps water cold for hours
If you’re packing for practice or competition season, this one is definitely worth adding to the bag.
