Unless you're severely handicapped, I don't understand why wouldn't you be able to dance whatever type of dance you want. If you have all your limbs and can walk, you can perfectly dance whatever is that you want. If you're fat and can't dance no more that one minute without getting out of breath, get in shape and train endurance. As simple as that. If you're 5.4" or less and feel intimidated dancing with a taller woman, find yourself a woman of your same height. You shouldn't be cutting away wings and locking up birds in cages telling them they can't fly. Mental handicap imposed by oneself -or others, which at the end of the day ends being oneself- is the worst of all.

  I dunno but I think you guys might be talking past each other a bit - this discussion is different depending on whether "dancing" is ballroom dancing, e.g. or ballet, modern, or what have you. Although even with modern, there is a strong school aiming to democratize dance. My family were performers in Kaeja D'Dance (http://www.kaeja.org/ http://www.kaeja.org/) Porch View Dances this year (look it up if you like dance) and the performances were very good. The choreographers were very careful to work around body types and capabilities.

This is silly. This is like claiming that just because you have arms and legs and can run, you can play football. Yes, almost anyone can toss a ball around, and lots of people can play amateur football (choose whichever definition of "football" you want here) on the weekend with friends. But very, very few people can make a real living playing football.
