In most cases an Ortho-doc would cast/splint if needed, but in some cases hairline fractures in the wrist area will heal just fine without stabilization.

How long does it take a hairline fracture of the wrist to heal?
A hairline fracture of the wrist will not always need to be immobilized. If there is no displacement of the bones, the wrist will heal perfectly without casting. You may find greater comfort using a stiff brace rather than nothing, and the brace is far more comfortable, hygienic and better for the skin than a plaster cast. Your doctor will need to see x-rays to determine if the break needs casting or not. Without the cast you will need to exercise caution since the bone is already weakened, but with normal usage as you can bear it the wrist will heal in the same amount of time as with a cast. See your doctor and have x-rays in any event.

Sorry to hear that you are having issues with your foot. If you haven't already gone to the doctor, you should probably do that. While you are home, you should have your foot elevated and have ice on it. You should probably stop dancing for a little bit, at least until the pain subsides.
