I've been taking belly dancing classes for almost 3 years now and I've never had aching feet before! Yesterday we did alot of fast past traveling moves that require you to be on your tip toes. Yesterday was a pretty intense class, and I was fine afterwards. But today....ouch! My feet are really sore and aching on the balls and arches. How do you get rid of the pain and discomfort or at least prevent it from happening again??

any and all suggesstions are welcome.

    For acute soreness, ice, salt foot baths, arnica rub, legs and feet raised up for 20 mins.

    For strength, regular drilling in grand plies, and releve work from flat position, and regular drilling and traveling on balls of feet for rib cage lock up, lock down, side to side, 4 square and rotations and pelvic lock up, down, alternating glut squeeze, 4 square and rotations.
