Foot positions are used primarily for style. It is 
actually the correct way to dance. Although, for the 
average dancer (non competitor) foot positions may not 
matter. Unless you would like to add style & technique 
to the way you dance. If this is so try working these 
basic foot positions into your everyday dances.
