I have been dancing around 13 years and have had weak quadriceps, tendinitis in my sesamoid bones basically they are two little bones in the ball of my foot which is very bad for a dancer to have, and torn ligaments in my ankle. I have had people tell me I need to quit dancing, get more confidence, and get stronger and more prepared for a competition. Sometimes, these problems I have go away for a while, because I workout and my muscles get stronger, but then, they start to come back. I had a competition recently where a problem in my sesamoid bones came back and I was limping 5 days before the competition. I realized I should just try to do my best before this competition by taking a break while my sesamoid bones healed. Well, I did very well the first two rounds of my dancing, but then the last round was horrible, because the pain started again and I ended messing up part of the step. Do you think I should quit after all these problems? I did end up qualifying for worlds again.
