Bollywood dance workouts are traditionally done without wearing any shoes. Dancing is mostly done on bare feet because it does not restrict the feet movements and makes performing the dance steps easier. Dancing barefoot is also very beneficial for the feet as it allows you to really work all the joints and muscle in the feet and ankles. Dancing with any shoes is usually difficult for many of us and therefore if you think that your feet and ankles are not strong enough, it is best to wear some type of footwear. Particularly as there is a lot of bouncing and jumping in some of the Bollywood dance routines, dancing without any shoes can be very punishing on your joints and knees.
The shoes and footwear that is best suited for Bollywood dance workouts should have good shock absorbers and protect your feet. When you perform the cardio dance steps and swivel and shimmy, you body will suffer a lot of shock in the knees and ankles, so proper shoes and socks is a must. Most of the Bollywood dance workout classes will allow you to participate in gym shoes and trainers as long they are solely used for Bollywood fitness training. The shoes are also required to have a non-marking sole as this will help prevent damage to the classroom dance floors. Thick socks are advised with your footwear, but avoid dancing just in socks on the wooden floors as this can cause injury through unwanted sliding.
