It does affect your balance somewhat but with physio and the proper footwear (like boots or runners) you are able to balance, dance and do whatever you like.
I once looked after a surfer who had a forefoot amputation. He got some cool orthopaedic shoes made for the affected foot and he was able to, with practise, surf the waves again :)

Other Answers:
Yeah. You push off your big toe when walking as well, so you would have a harder time walking (or running) without it.
