Dancers are prone to Injuries. When you are sore you think you may have twisted your ankle (or knee or wrist), just follow RICE
R-Rest-relax, don't work to hard immediatly afterwards
I-Ice-wrap up an ice pack in a towel and put it on the sore spot
C-Comperssion-wrap it up in an ace bandage to prevent swelling
E-Elevation, try to keed it higher that your heart level (reduces swelling)
A great web site that caters to dancers is (http://www.med.nyu.edu/hjd/harkness/patients/injuries/)
They prase things like a dance would: “I landed badly from a jump and now it hurts to walk.”
