Advil might help, and a heating pad on the most tender area.

I know at first it might really hurt when you're all fresh and sore, but just keep moving and stretching right after and you'll be fine! One time I was ridiculously sore in my legs and I just sat on the couch all day with ice hoping that would help, well it didn't, it made it worse! I went to practice and worked it out and felt MUCH better! Bottom line of the story is work it out and keep moving and stretching! Hope I helped!

First off, along with stretching/warm-ups before starting you should also stretch very well after. It helps to lengthen the muscles for one. Another reason to stretch well after is because your muscles will have tiny air pockets in them after working them out good and stretching will help the muscle pull those out. Hold each stretch steadily for 15 seconds.
I know you haven't joined Curves or anything but they have an excellent stretching routine at the end of work-outs. Here is a nifty link on how to pose for the stretches:
You could print that out and take it with you if you think it's a good idea. It may also be beneficial to the other dancers since I'm sure you're not the only one that is sore!
In addition to stretching afterward, you may find comfort in taking an aspirin for the soreness and putting a cold pack on the painful area for awhile. Cold packs have helped me a lot. You may also want to think about getting a massage if the pain is not located in one or two areas (meaning: all over pain).
Also remember to be drinking enough water to keep yourself hydrated. Water will help your body heal more efficiently so you won't be as sore as long. It's recommended you drink 64oz of water each and every day.
