Hey Andy, my name is Candace, i'm a 14 y/o in the US and love to dance. I was doing the splits and i dislocated my kneecap. I'm verrrrry surprised they told you to go to school. I was in a knee brace for nearly 2 months and just started pysical therepy. I would hope you can do something like that. Take care!
