That mudkip announcer girl was adorable.

Skit, not so much. They didn't even look like they were having fun. Jeez, if you're gonna perform, at least pretend to enjoy it.

Cosplay is an expensive hobby. There's no doubt about that. But if you truly honestly expect other cosplayer to feel sorry for you then you're just kidding yourself. Don't get me wrong, I feel your pain. I've been in tight spots like that before and I know first hand how addicting cosplay is. If you want to continue to cosplay it's going to require a job or some source of income. Yeah yeah, I'm sure it's something you already know, but I'm going to say it for anyone out there reading this.

You would actually have to make a boot cover to go over the dance shoes. If you buy nude dance shoes and shoe spray paint you can make them resemble Sailor Moon's boots quite easily and more comfortably.

Another idea is to practice while wearing your costume. Even just parts of it. That way when you perform you know how your costume will respond to your movements and you'll be used to it.

Just as Rakuen said watch videos for inspiration, you can watch other people perform the same dance and see about getting tips from them on how to learn the dance. The best thing you can do is to make sure to break down the dance into smaller parts and perfect each part before adding/learning another part.

Could you point me in the direction of some that look like sailor moons please?

I'm not sure what shoes you were using, but you could always try dance shoes. I have a very hard time wearing heels over 2" for more than a few hours let alone 2 days due to an accident I had when I was younger.

The dance shoes I have are actually quite comfortable. Expensive, yes, but worth every penny.

[ZamiNekoChan]

Ok i shall do that

Practice, watch videos for inspiration, make sure your cosplay styles match and make appropriate improvements. And add stretching to your personal practice regiment. More flexibility will go a long way to making performances easier and adding movements to your repertoire.
