Depression can make someone unmotivated to do anything. And it can add some nice details to your story, what made her depressed, what/who helps her overcome her depression and go back to dancing.

This may change your story line too much, but if the dancer is depressed over something in her life, that could have kept her from being a dancer. Often times those suffering from depression are practically incapable of physical activity and lose their ambition. It’s a constant cycle – she is unable to dance because of her depression and her inability to dance is pushing her further into depression.

ALS or MS. ALS (amytrophic lateral sclerosis) causes your nervous system to stop working, and you could become permanantly paralyzed. MS (multiple sclerosis) isnt AS severe, and its a gradual disease. it slowly makes it hard for you neurological system to function, making it harder for you to walk, and sometimes even theire eye site gets really bad. i have a friend who has MS, and im pretty sure itd be extremely hard for a person with severe MS to be a dancer. and both of these can happen to a young person, if your character is young. theyre both auto immune diseases btw.
