How long until i can dance? i have a minor fracture and i tore a ligament dancing.

Depends: On which bone you broke and which ligament you tore? More information would be helpful. Most fractures heal in 8 weeks and for high demand athletes such as dancers it can take some time for the foot to regain normal strength in general.
