After hearing the news of this amazing opportunity to dance and travel, I immediately began preparing myself. I researched the ship I would be on and the places it would be sailing. I started searching for current and past dancers. I reached out to some for advice and asked a few questions. In return I was able to put together a packing list from the information I gathered from current dancers.
Obviously, where you go matters because this helps depict what type of clothing you need based on weather and temperatures. Additionally, how long you will be sailing is important because that helps decide on how much clothing you need. Either way a few necessities are as follows...
