question about tap dancing and plantar fasciitis?

Ok, so I started to learn how to tap dance, and it made my plantar fasciitis worse.I went to the foot doctor,and got orthotics, and stayed off the foot for 5 months.The pain is gone, and I would like to continue dancing. If I wear my orthotics in my tap shoes, can I resume dancing or are my tapping days over for good? I’m willing to do whatever it takes to practice good foot health. This is important, so please don’t answer if you are not sure.Thanks!

I had that kind of problem, I tap dance too, my teacher told me to stop dancing for a while, I did it but going to every class, just watching the girls was awful my feet were moving along, but when I got back to practice it was great and I was sure that my whole body was okay. I know it’s hard to stop but you’ll see in the end it’s cool to finally be able to start again. And you’re taping days are not over, I’m talking about my true story so believe it, it’s better to recover.
