Get a super thin Yoga mat that can fit easily into your dance bag. When floors are too cold or dirty, it is a savior. It makes warming up for a show or class convenient. It is also great to stand on when changing clothes.
I recommend folding it so that there is an upside and a downside that never touch , you may find yourself putting it on some funky floors and you don't want that stuff touching your face.
