If you can then study homework all during class. People will not think that your lazy if your working your guts out on bookwork. It will show that you have strong work ethic and they will probably believe that your knee problems are pretty bad.

Being a dancer myself, I know how bad it is having to sit out because of an injury. I sprained my ankle pretty badly a couple of weeks ago and it practically killed me to have to take time off.

My suggestion is when you do get back into dancing, if you aren't as mobil then use lots of strong and clean upper body action because it will make you look like your putting in a lot of effort and often it is a lot of effort.
 
Because of my knee problems, i cant do the dancing that everyone else does.
However, people call me "lazy" and it is embarrassing because i have to sit at the front of the room whilst everyone is dancing.
People think I'm lazy, and I'm not, i cant do it because of knee problems.
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this, its embarrassing!
 
Aside from telling them the real reason, you might avoid the "lazy" misconception by doing some kind of other work in the meantime. Practice math problems or foreign language grammar. Hopefully, that'll set them straight.

Which reminds me. They had square dancing lessons when I was in grade school. I had to participate, but...if I could have had it my way, I would have napped on the sidelines. XD Guess I am a bit lazy, huh?
 
Surely they know you have knee problems from all the times you can't run or do PE or climb stairs easily?

If you can do all these things, what's stopping you from dancing?
 
that realy sucks. i feel for you, i had the same problem. what i did was tell them to back the flip off, then i did my own dances that woudlnt have effect on the knees. of course, that might not work for you. theres also "ignoring"(i find this hard) and telling someone about it. you can ask the dance teacher for other dances/parts that you can do. theres many other ways to deal with this, but im sure the friends here at Yahoo Answers will help you, because i realy cant think of them right now.

also, try learning "hare hare yukai" its a great, fun, upbeat dance. there are some leg parts, but most of it you can do sitting down! :)
