    In my modern class, our new teacher is trying to make us dance without any shoes…no foot thongs or anything. My feet really aren’t used to it yet. Not enough callouses yet I guess!

    Is anyone else suffering? And help is welcome :)

    Hello again frenchtwist! I guess we are 2 contemporary/modern dancers and need to have eachothers back! ;)

    Getting used to bare feet while dancing is hard. It just takes time to, like you said, build callouses and get your feet used to it. It really is so different. Even just standing in bare feet feels different than with shoes on.

    And by the way, when you get used to it, its so much better than wearing those foot thongs! I hate those things!

    Hey harrisonj! You are helping me left and right!! :-)

    I never minded the foot thongs and right now would take those over bare feet! But like you said, I’ll get used to it. I do feel more grounded without shoes on.

    Exactly! You really start to feel much more connect to the ground without shoes between you. I promise that when you get used to it, you will love it! I feel my center better as well and feel a lot more stable.
