IDK take a ballet lesson

the split-sole shoes always give you pretty arches, because they're easier to make.
If you want to help your feet bend a little better, practice standing on your toes or the balls of your feet so that there's an arch, and put your weight in your ankles, then walk or do some spins like that for a couple of minutes or until you can't stand anymore. Then touch the tops of your toes to the ground and put a little pressure on them.
Also, of you practice pointe a little more your arches should develop. And if you're not on pointe, just practice demi-pointe, because it helps your feet and ankles prepare anyways.

Try using therobands. U can also try sitting down and then put 1 foot flat on the ground. hold your toes down then try to raise your arche.

It's not that hard. Well, at least, for me. But I've been dancing for 11 years, and now I teach, so it's probably different for you. Take your foot, and even when you are just sitting down, (do this in socks or barefoot only, so you can look at your feet, shoes will hurt them) then point em as hard as you can. its all in your ankle, actually. good luck. email me for more halp, if you need it
