It takes tons of repetition to develop good ballroom dance skills and that’s a two-edged sword.  Of course, in order to commit them to memory, you’ve got to practice.  However, the pounding that the feet and ankles take can cause discomfort and injury. And, that can stop you right in your tracks and leave you with aching feet.

As for me, I can remember as a new ballroom dancer that my feet that hurt a lot. As a matter of fact, swinging my legs over the side of the bed to get up made me anxious. In short, I could have used some of these remedies to help relieve the pain. On the other hand, the good news is, with time I didn’t notice it as much. This is explained in the Dance Safari post, “The Power of Ballroom Dancing-It Only Hurts When You Stop“.
