Is it not the case that we are supposed to gently float across the floor with almost no contact between foot and floor at all :>) Pia Most basketball courts now seem to have quite different flooring and it is the ankle support given by their footware that prevents injury. Unfortunately, the soft soled pumps we wear do not provide the support needed to dance comfortably on other than wooden floors - sprung or not - and most of us know that we would prefer not to dance in other than pumps.

I am not sure this is true. Jazz shoes seem to be gaining a hold. I certainly would not go back to Ghillies.
