On Prima Ballerina Patricia Barker....

"There is a well-known story that, very early on, Francia Russell was convinced Barker did not have good feet for ballet -- until her son Christopher, a remarkable ballet dancer in his own right who recently retired, insisted his mother was wrong. And so, the teacher asked the student to remove her shoes and realized, in an instant, the problem was the toe shoe not the foot."

High arches help but don’t worry if you don’t have them. I danced when I was younger and now - not even 40 - I spend a lot of time in pain, in casts, in special shoes, in bandages, and on crutches.

Work with what you have and don't cheat yourself of a future by overdoing it now. :(

When i was a kid i had low arches
I went to a shoe shop and they put things in my shoes to form my arch as being higher
Im not sure if you could have it done just because you want arched feet, tell them you are walking with your toes pointing together, thats why i had to have it done, now i have arches but it is so painful for a while when your foot is adjusting
I was young like 5-7 when i had it done my bones weren't fully formed and easier to shape, im not really sure if it would work now since im assuming you are over the age of 10 lol.
But go ask around shoe shops or people who make shoes or your doctor about it, they could give you more information

You can't....and I have high arches that are in the process of "falling" which is extremely painful...so be careful what you wish for.
