Most likely a growth spurt and pre-puberty have happened. This is common in young dancers. Many have a difficult time working through all the changes and they find it very difficult to do the stuff they used to do. With a growth spurt, your body has grown faster than your muscles can handle, you muscles then in turn have to play catch up (so to speak). The result is poor control during movements in dance and gymnastics. The hormones that happen when pre-puberty starts also create some havoc with your body.
My other thought is perhaps you need a different dance teacher or a new studio. I have known some dance studios in the past that were very good at teaching children under about 10 yrs of age. They had a good preschool and beginner program, but they just did not seem to have a teacher that could continue to provide quality training for the intermediate and advanced levels. This may not be the case with you, but it is one possibility for your question.

Perhaps you've had a rapid growth spurt, and your coordination has not caught up to the bigger body parts. Often when your feet get bigger you are temporarily clumsy. And with some young ladies rapid breast growth can make them a little off balance for a while. Don't be frustrated. It's just part of growing up.

It maybe taking lessons. Structure and being told "how to" dance does not work with everyone.
