Big Fat Deal: The Big Ballet is a troupe of dancers from Russia who weigh a minimum of 220 pounds each.

Because the ballet tag features too many people of only one body type.  Let’s not pretend you need to be a certain weight to be able to perform fouetté en tournant.

did you know… that ballerinas only use to be large and wealthy girls, because only the Royals were allowed to practice Ballet.
