I am 12 years old and have been dancing for 8 years now!. I dance, tap, jazz, ballet, lyric and pointe (toe) shoes!. I don't think my arch (on my foot) is normal!.
Could it be an over arch!? I don't want to ask my teacher, she is EXTREMLY busy right now!. I am really confused!.!.!. so I want to know from either dance teachers or professional ballet dancers your opinion on my arch, is it normal or over arched!? THANK YOU SO MUCH!.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Your foot is not over-arched!. It's right where it should be!. Some people are born with a great arch, and by the bottom of your foot, I can tell you were born with a good ballet arch!. It's right where it should be for your age and level, so don't fret!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

i'm not a professional dancer, per-say!. but i do know that your feet are NOT over arched!. they're just fine!. and trust me when i say that i have seen over arched feet!.

hope this helps de-confuse you!.
