I can't imagine bear feet would work!
Sorry, couldn't resist!
BTW: What kind of cheese do you use to tempt a bear out of cave?
Answer:
Camembert
In attempt to be helpful rather than flippant: have you seen the following thread

this seems to suggest either espadrilles or bare feet would be ok

trying to remember I was at Kingston festival at the weekend and watched a tarantella as part of the national section I think she had black shoes (?ballet pumps or soft irish shoes) with black elastic laces that criss crossed up to her calves (I remember they left a pattern on her legs afterwards.) Good luck with it it is a very energetic dance to sustain

Sorry Of course I meant bare feet

I was just in a frantic hurry
Thanks for the replys. I have always thought that it didn't matter - but have been hearing a lot recently that it should be done only in black shoes and not bare feet.
