Answers:
If you do not take care of it now, it will lead to big problems.
There is ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) which helps you to turn when you are dancing. It is probably inflamed.
Use ice pack. Swelling should go down. Do leg press exercises to strengthen your muscles. Use knee braces until your knee feels better (approx. $30 in drug stores).
But, really -
you should consult a doctor. Have a surgery only if you absolutely must.
Looks like you can fix it without going to the doctor at first. But do not pospone consultation with a doctor. Go see them soon.Health Question & Answer
