What type of dance can you perform outside?

The only form of dance that i wouldn't recommend performing outside is pointe, unless you plan on bringing a dance floor along with you. Now if you are dancing in grass you just need to make sure that you're OK with doing ballet or jazz or contemporary barefooted or in sneakers of some kind. Hip hop is probably the easiest style to perform outside simply because you don't really have to worry about what type of ground you'll be dancing on.

Answer:

There are many dances performed primarily outside. Well known examples are Haka the traditional Māori dance, English Morris Dancing, North American aboriginal dances (grass dance, chicken dance, etc.), May Pole dances, Hawaiian Hula dances, Scottish sword dances at military/highland games celebrations, etc.

Why are ballet shoes so important?

It's possible to dance ballet without soft ballet shoes. You will see dancers in contemporary companies dance without shoes all the time!

Soft leather, satin or canvas ballet shoes are worn mainly due to tradition, although there's some evidence wearing a shoe helps hold the muscles and bones of the foot in place, and reduces the risk of injury. However, you'll see contemporary dancers doing identical moves either in bare feet or in fabric/elastic foot covers called "dance paws".

For women, though, pointe shoes are essential as it's impossible to dance on the tips of the toes without them. They are specially strengthened to hold the foot in an upright position and spread the weight of the body across the foot instead of directly on to the toes.
