    I was referring more specifically to stilettos that people wear out on the street, for walking in. I wasn't actually sure about tango shoes, although if I'd thought about it in any depth I'd probably have figured out that they support good tango posture

    Re: Dance injuries

    Gosh too many UBI bruises (Unidentified Boogie-ing Injuries), kamikaze crashes, feet being trodden on, and my arms being yanked out of their sockets to mention here!

    My two most spectacular injuries were being dropped from an aerial onto a concrete floor during a run through before a cabaret performance(see pic!) and also elbowing a good friend of mine in the mouth during a rather enthusiastic dance....very embarrassing attempting to explain to people at work why I had teeth marks on my arm the next day!
