In my dance class i've see alot of girls used athletic tape??

Question

like they're not injured or anything

do u know y they put for no reason

thanx =]]

Answer 1

it helps keep things in place. also it helps prevent certain places from getting injured. for example, i had this one dance that had me constantly rubbing my big toe and pinkie toe across the floor. to prevent those places from getting hurt, or rough i wore the tape there

Answer 2

Because You have the arch in your foot that you are born with, and dancing makes that arch stronger, which should be a good thing. A low arch, is different from an inflexible arch. It could mean that their feet are "too flexible." You can see a physical therapist who deals with athletes, and learn how to "wrap" your arch properly, with athletic tape, to support your arches. If you try this yourself, you will probably just cut off the circulation in your feet. You MUST use FLEXIBLE athletic tape, which is usually flesh colored, as opposed to the white tape used to wrap ankles, etc.

Answer 3

Could be to like prevent injury or smething

Answer 4

Im a dancer (well used to be... i quit this year to do colorguard) and i don't use athletic tape but since im also in colorguard i kno wut they use it for.... it is to prevent injuries and to help keep their wrists (or where ever they use the tape) in place cuz i hurt my wrist and i had to use it but i diidnt have any to put on it so i used a brace instead =]

Answer 5

cuz en pointe your toes get blisters, bruised, cut, ect....they are using it to prevent these things. lol hope that hlpd
