[Tango-L] One more comment about shoes

[Deby Novitz]

Dance sneakers are a disaster.  You cannot work the floor with them.  
You might be able to dance, but in my opinion they are a disaster.  I 
need to feel the floor to work it.  My shoes are the tool to do so.  
Improper shoes do not let you develop technically.  I know, all you 
dance sneaker people will disagree with me.  I wear my 8cm or higher 
heels easily for 12 hours with no pain.  The shoes fit me.  I buy them 
to dance in, not to be admired, not for ego.  My shoes are pretty so 
don't get any ideas I am dancing in orthopedic granny tango shoes.  The 
muscles in my feet are also developed.  This comes with proper technique 
along with wearing the right shoes.  (Someone once referred to me as 
feet of steel)

Sore feet come from wearing shoes that are too high, do not fit 
properly, improper balance.  When these things are all correct, you 
would be amazed at how much better you feel and dance.
