The ancient Celts believe that the Universe was composed of four elements:

• Earth
• Water
• Wind
• Fire

They considered the spots where they intersected to be magical (the top of mountains, beaches, volcanoes, etc.)

Feet are the boundaries between you and the Earth and therefore they are magical!

(So is your skin, the boundary between you and the Wind...)

So be kind to your feet, and wear the right shoes for the activity at hand!

In dancing, you want shoes that protect your feet, are as close to the size of your feet as possible (i.e. no pointy shoes!) don't slip and don't come off by accident (no backless shoes!)

The sole needs to give you enough traction so you don't slip, but allow you to swivel easily on the ball of your foot, or you might hurt your knees...
