I know obese people who are really great dancers. In the social dance world heavier people are typically above-average or great dancers. This isn't to say obese people are better dancers in general - just that people are prejudiced against obese dancers, and anyone who can deal with that kind of prejudice has to be really good and motivated to keep showing up.

- Ididntdothis 7y agoFrom my experience when I was teaching yoga classes there were different kinds of obese people. Some were super flexible and very good at moving their large body around in a world that didn't accommodate them whereas others had zero body awareness, were stiff and could barely move. There are different reasons why somebody is of a certain body type. Some skinny people are anorexic, weak and have no understanding of their body. Others are skinny because they are super fit. Superficially they look the same but are actually totally different.
