lovely!!! but why would one not wear shoes to this???

Kids like to do a lot of things barefoot, especially contra dancing. Modern dance influence? I don't know. Some claim it strengthens the muscles and improves balance and coordination when dancing. I'm a podiatrist in my day job, BTW; but don't have a professional opinion on this though I'm inclined to agree. However, after they get a bit older they'll find it's too sore to dance w/o shoes, though many dance shoes are very thin-soled anyway.
