1. Sore shoes

I remember from last year how much pain my feet were in after a night of wearing heels. This year I didn't want a repeat of that so I took measures to make sure I wouldn't have sore feet the day after. Firstly I practiced walking in them for weeks before to adjust to the height... They were massively high. Nothing to what I would wear daily. I think this helped a lot because it was a lot easier to walk in the during the night. Also I sprayed my foot with hairspray, yes  hairspray, to stop it from slipping around in my shoe. Another thing is to please just be careful, accept that they aren't the easiest pair of shoes to walk in and don't be afraid to ask for some assistance in walking during the night. Just don't hang on your date, or anyone for that matter, the whole time ;)

2. Your Dress

This was probably the hardest thing for me. Trying to decide wether I was going to buy or rent or have one made took forever but after deciding to rather save money and rent, I headed off to Cinderellas to pick up the perfect dress for me. That was the next task... Finding the dress. To be honest, it isn't that easy or quick. It takes time to find a dress that is the right color and fit for your body but don't stress because you'll find it. If there's one thing I've learnt is that you should stay clear of satin or shiney material similar to satin because when it comes to taking photos, the dress doesn't flatter your body, this is because of lighting that causes the dress to reflect in some areas but not in the others. If you do want satin then make sure it has an over coating like chiffon to stop this effect on your photos.

3. Makeup

There are a few things I've learnt from past experiences and one thing that is important is that whether you're doing your own makeup or having it professionally done, make sure it isn't too dark. Some people have really pale skin (ie. Me) and having dark make up doesn't look very nice at all. But you don't have to worry because if you do have pale skin then you should embrace it, there are colors you can wear which will bring out all your good points. Same goes for those who are more tan. There are colours that suit you best too. All you have to do is make sure you know those colors. These you can find anywhere on the Internet.

4. Hair

Your hair is quite important as if it isn't done correctly it may hide the best qualities about your dress. If you have a strapless dress, wear your hair down to avoid your neck looking too long. If your dress has one strap, wear your hair to the other side to even it out. If you have a halter dress or any other kind of straps, wear an updo or half updo. This is really important to remember. Another thing is that it doesn't matter wether you do it yourself or if you have it done professionally. Know your strengths and weaknesses and work according to it. 

5. Your date

Your date is also one of the main important parts of the dance because you're going to be spending the whole night with him. You obviously don't want a date that is going to leave you nor be too clingy. You don't have to take someone that you like, you can just take a friend. You could even go alone or with one of you girl friends, you'll have a great time either way so don't feel bad about it.

Overall, your night is going to be absolutely special. No matter what happens, whether it be something bad at the time or something amazing - its going to be a night to remember (que High School Musical dancing)
