I have horrible dislocations and they keep getting worse and i have extended ligaments and all that sun stuff but i am a dancer, should i stop dance?

See below:: I would suggest you see an orthopod, who can assess you and then decide on a supervised rehab program, so that your muscles can be strengthened, to hopefully reduce the dislocations. Most likely you have ligamentous hyperlaxity (double jointedness) from the sound of it. After the DX you may decide about your dancing career, depending on how many times you dislocated and which joints?
