Beware of doing impact exercise on a concrete floor, this includes running, dancing, plyometric (explosive) exercises. Be kind to your joints - Paramount have a professionally installed sprung dance/exercise floor to minimise the impact travelling through your joints. Internet article from a dance website: How damaging to legs is dancing a lot on concrete? It leads to plantar faciatis, knee pain, hip pain, lower back pain. I wouldnt do it. I have quit and refused teaching gigs because of this. I cant tell you how many people Ive known who have chronic plantar faciatis from working out or dancing on concrete floors -- my husband, several dance students, several friends. One friend has been through round after round after round of steroid injections and other antiinflamatory treatments. She now has nerve damage in her feet and legs and doesnt know how/if it will heal. And she has bursitis, because once you have an injury, there are going to be a cascade of compensatory responses elsewhere. Shoes? Inserts? shes tried them all. She spends a ton of money on shoes that are supposed to be shock absorbing and still she is in constant pain. And she is only in her mid 30s.
