About Me

Dancing on my toes

I have always loved dancing, but as I'm getting older it's getting harder and harder on my feet. I regularly attend the podiatrist to get my feet checked and treated for the little twinges, new injuries, and flare-ups of old injuries that I have had in the past. My podiatrist is really good at helping to make sure that my feet are in great condition so that I can keep on dancing. A podiatrist can be a dancer's best friend. This blog is all about looking after your feet as a dancer, including choosing great dance shoes and getting podiatric advice and treatment as needed.
