Ok, so in dance class today we were doing technic (hop leaps, be do a little hop and then do a small leap where we stretch our back leg out in the air) and i jumped up, landed on the side of my foot (starting from like the side of my pinkie toe down to my heel) and fell on the ground. well, thanks to my clumsyness and bad luck, i sprained my foot and we're preparing for a super important recital in the spring so im like dancing the routine and limping and my teacher was like yelling at me. geez, sorry. ;]

i dont want my foot to affect my dancing, cause i won't be able to dance on it for atleast a week (i'll be lucky if i can attend dance class)

i was just wondering, is there anything i can do to like keep it, um, i dont know how to word it, but like still "good" for dance for when it heals?

i've been resting it, but also exercising my toes and pointing my foot to make sure they don't get stiff and hurt when i'm better. i walk on my heel. i've also been soaking it in hot water (that feels soooo good)

i guess this questions meant for a dancer whos hurt herself doing dance and had to recover quickly.

is there anything i should be doing that i'm not, or anything i;m doing that i shouldn;t be? thanks in advance!! <3
 
mine took weeks to heal. i wa also practising leaps but at home and like i came down on it and for some reason my ankle just gave way and rolled to the side and cracked SOOO HARDD. omg. but i could walk on it after a week but it still hurts sometimes. rub some special cream on it i just rub dencarub. but its an australian product. go to the chemist. thye'll help. it should. i repeat. SHOULD be fine. but you really have to rest it. try keep off it. maybe not move it so much...
 
I have had many dance related injures and can totally relate you should try to dance but if it hurts to much stop you don`t want to injure it farther. Sit out on some classes and write out your dance for extra practice or go over the dance in your head. Ice it for 15 min then let it sit for 15 then hot water for 15 again for awhile and that should work see a doctor if you think its something serious. And the rest is all natural i would recoded advil for the pain but not before you dance because it will numb the pain and you won`t know when to stop dancing because it won`t hurt so yeah the rest must be natural.
