Fun Friday Socks
One dance company I performed with required
all dancers to wear socks over their dance shoes when walking from the dressing
rooms to the stage. This policy was strictly enforced.
The goal was to prevent any slippery
substances – particularly floor wax – from being tracked onto the stage where
it could become hazardous. It also kept the shoes free of other dirt and grime
that could also pose problems.
Not all companies had this policy but I
always wore socks over my shoes. I simply removed them in the wings and
replaced them before I went back to the dressing room. Nowadays I’d recommend
socks with non-skid bottoms for this purpose, for obvious reasons.
Sock it to me!
