Listen to what doctor advise my dear, you just need to rest for few days..it will be recover very soon. The problem is this few days you must follow the instruction of doctor ok? Otherwise it will become worst! Don't walk so much especially don't dance! Just few days only... so fast one! We still waiting for your great performance ya... hug*

As important as the performance may seem, is it worth it to maybe have to limp for the rest of your life? Or to always have pain? Such injuries, although they seem minor, take time to heal. They need to heal properly or you might cause permanent damage of some sort. You have to ask yourself what is more important to you and go by that. You may get lucky and you will not suffer further damage, but more likely you'll make matters worse. Personally, I'd be upset but I'd follow my doctors instructions.

I think you should not dance with your injured leg.Dancing will make your leg even worse.Take rest till your legs are recovered completely.Then you can walk,run and dance happily.

hei, now your leg like a bah zhang d woh. from wyit comment, it seems like you can attend your performance if you are following doctor instruction. as this few days you cannot practise, then you can try to review back the video that you have captured, and evaluate back your dance to see if there is anything to be improve. but it does not mean that you are not dancing well, just may be we can turn out from better to best.

Of course not.. take a good care on your leg. Health is more important than dancing. always remember that.
