When dancing, how do you have your feet? Do you dance on the balls of your feet, or remain more grounded, flat-footed?
Does the style you dance affect whether you're on your toes or not?
I ask this, because I'm learning a flat-footed tribal/gypsy style and I'm constantly getting in trouble for lifting my heels in class (I have super-tight ligaments that make flat-footed, bent-knee'd maneouvers difficult). My first teacher taught an Egyptian style, on the toes.
So. Question. Do others who dance flat-footed have issues staying down? If so, what did you do to overcome them, and what advice can you give me?
The floor is yours........
