It used to happen more often but it still bugs the heck out of me.
This has been going on since I was around 13.
Back then it I would start walking/running and all of a sudden I would feel a sharp pain jab my knees and they would buckle.
It happens less often now.
I talked about it to my doctor and he just kept saying it's the growth spurt.

I'm 16 now, this rarely happens anymore, but my knees have gone .. stiff?
I'm really motivated to do well in dance but it feels like this is limiting my abilities.
I have trouble doing leg stretches because my knees refuse to allow my legs to go completely straight.
It's preventing me from achieving the splits.

Do you guys know what's going on?
And if there's any way to "cure" this?

My first thought is arthritis but I'm not a doctor. My sister had a torn meniscus that caused her pain.
If you want to try something, I'd try glucosamine with conjointin. It's over the counter but I'd still talk to your parents before taking it.
I can never remember when to use heat or ice but one or both might help.

Now speaking from experience, you are going to have to be pushy with doctors. My sister suffered since she was in grade school and had an MRI done in high school. Our mother finally had it and really pushed the doctor for an MRI or something. And thus, the problem was revealed.

I need spinal x-rays because of an old fracture but my doctor is telling me to do physical therapy >.< *eye roll*
Be pushy if it is really concerning you. You can't cure what you don't know.
