Support your feet, please!
Quite
a few of my favorite, experienced
followers must cut down the number of tandas because of metatarsal pain. That
is painful for her and really frustrating for both of us! The
information about hese two methods to support the metatarso are not new but this is
a new year push to start test/use devises for easier and happier dancing. I am
NOT professional and you should talk with one to check if these methods
are suitable for you and if they are enough to help you stay on the pista. It
IS dangerous not to listen your body – we had here in our community (early days
when there was not so much information) who lost her metatarso padding with
painful consequences for many years.
Stay in place, keep the metatarso tissue
collected!
A friend of mine is a professional modern dancer with many hours on bare feet; training and performing. The increasing pain on the front part of the feet was horrifying, challenging her career as a dancer. A solution for her was a bandage of sport tape around the front part of the feet. She changed it once a week during the long period her feet needed to recover.

If you put
a piece of tape on the floor and step on it with you whole weight you vill get
right supporting effect without squeezing the feet. Wrap the ends around your
foot. This may be exactly what you need but for more stable support you can make
another round.
This will
keep the metatarso padding collected into its proper place without squeezing
the structure or your foot.
Giving your feet some extra padding!
There is
kind of jelly, colorless paddings used by many here but they are mostly loose
ones so after a milonga you can find some lonely, sad jelly padding on the
pista or they move around in the shoe
so you need to put them to the right place again. In central Europe these
devises have a band around the foot keeping them in place. According to the info you can even wash the
after a long dance night!
Do it together! Start a new trend in your
community!
I have
talked to followers here about these possibilities and helped them to test but
it has been too embarrassing to use visible devises in those beautiful shoes.
But according to the ladies it helped when they tested!
If this
could be something for you and your follower friends, please go together and
use the visible paddings, visible sport tape!
If you are 5-10 followers doing it at same milonga it will be easier and others will join you quite soon!
The change
can go VERY fast!
When I visited a German encuentro and found these white bands
in many shoes
it became soon kind of signature of a dedicated, experienced
dancer!
