Yep, plantar fasciitis it is. I've got the same from time to time when I walk/dance for a long period of time or intensively, blame it on my overweight body I usually do some plantar stretching exercises before I step out of bed, it helps reduce the pain when walking to the bathroom first thing in the morning As my body warms up and with proper footwear, the pain goes away. The problem is that bellydancing with orthotics isn't exactly graceful... I remember being in excruciating pain after a rather physically demanding workshop, I couldn't walk properly for days!!
