As a Ballroom dance lover and teacher I have worn heels to teach, but in time I stopped wearing high heels.
While competition dances may have the specific shoes as a necessity, teaching people of all ages and from all walks of life to dance, it becomes imperative to care to teach them to dance safe.
Dancing must be enjoyable not cumbersome . If you are the kind who would like a bit of heel , do wear for you own joy once in a while ,but do take care of your feet in the longer run.
Many women wear heels to dance but pay a huge price in terms of their health especially if it’s uncomfortable to them.
Over the years, I have been dancing many Latin dances and teaching them without high heels as I realise it’s just an accessory and not a necessity . There are many smooth soled shoes without resorting to stilettos which works out just fine, than high heels.
While many feel high heels gives confidence and gait which seems attractive truly it’s just a commercial phenomenon.
A great pair of dancing shoes must support your feet and ankles, while moving in any directions and give a smooth momentum for your turns, flicks and swivels.
If you are a dancer or have danced in heels what are your experiences, do share.
Just spending time with our little furball combing his long coat every other day makes me feel peaceful. A little moment every now and then writing my thoughts down feels peaceful Spending time alone witnessing the stillness of the breath or practicing Qi Gong in the garden with green trees for company makes me feel peaceful.
Meditative moments especially at home in front a Buddha statue makes me feel peaceful.
Painting and dancing without an agenda, on my own, whenever I wish to, makes me feel peaceful.
But most of all… Living in the now, without too many expectations makes me peaceful ✌️

Light is only light as long as you can see it. Else there at most the anticipation of light. What you see as light Is your choice For it is your point of view
But if light is a sense Of the tingling warmth Or scorching heat Or the tenderness of touch Light is sensed in its glow Then light is a feeling In the sensing Of its so called attributes Associated by you. Then it’s your point of sense
What you see What you feel What you sense Is a dance of illusions Of the perception All within you!
So is light light? And is dark dark at all? It is all in you!
