You can definitely dance without high arches. Good Arches are mainly for aesthetic reason because the lengthen the leg lines. Flatter feet often have stronger ankles which is just as good.

There are stretches you can do to help your feet.

SIt on the floor with your back straight and your legs extended out in front of you. Flex your feet. Push them to demi pointe and really feel your metatarsals stretch. Fully point your toes and feel long long leg lines. Then pull your toes back and feel the stretch in your arch. Flex your feet. Do this as much as you can it will help.

You also want to maybe knuckle your feet gently as you're standing up.

Ballet is hard. Do you practise dancing? Can you stretch your legs and tip toe?|||it is a lot more challenging then those with a natural arch line,but you can do it..i too have flat feet..i just work hard at strecthing them and working on my point and what not.|||Not sure, why not call a studio and ask. Professionals would know.|||actually i think it is easier to dance ballet with flat feet becuase why else would they make flat shoes???
