i did ballet for years!. i have a mild bunion, however you can get a bunion from wearing high heels, victoria beckham has one so does naomi campbell!. knees injuries can happen if you jump and you don't land correctly!. a lot of them sprain their ankles too!. however my honest opinion is that it was worth it ballerinas have long lean bodies, long necks and good posture!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

injury list of myself and peers:
broken toes
sprained ankles
