This is something to consider if you’re serious about saving your feet at the social dance.
First, you need to understand that one of the most important tools we possess when it comes to dancing is our feet.
Why our feet? Well, they move us. They help us turn and make us look good, too. They are the foundation on which our dance steps rest. Whether you’re a seasoned salsera/salsero, or someone who has ever taken lessons in ballroom dance, you are familiar with that incredible high from the chemistry of dancing.
So, it is very common to hear dancers talk about excitement, laughter, happiness, pulled muscles, and probably some visits to the doctor, from time to time. It can be very easy to over-strain our feet over the course of an event. Shoes that don’t fit properly might cause blisters or even swollen feet.
