How are dancers self-taught?

Why are dancers so skinny?

  • I dance but I'm not skinny. Why are dancers so skinny. You only see skinny dancers dancing in videos or movies. You never see any dancers with curves. Are bigger curvier dancers not as good? Or do they frown upon us just because our bodies aren't perfect and in shape..?? Help?

    It is amazing that Dowah Diddy can be such a pompous arrogant jerk when they clearly have no idea what they are talking about. moving on... Yes, many dancers are way to skinny. Just like models, some have given other dancers a bad name by their low weight and unhealthy habits. However, there are some great dancers that are not tiny. When you begin to look at modern, hip-hop, and jazz dancers they are all closer to a normal sized person. In the dance world, you can make it without being tiny, you just have to be looking in the right places.

Overweight dancers are not as popular because we don't want to see them. Dancers are entertainers and we don't want to be entertained by unattractive people. Why are dancers skinny? Because dancing is cardio and, very important, they don't stuff their faces with food. Even someone as active as a dancer has to be careful about their diet. If you want to see overweight dancers, go to Youtube and search for "belly dance" videos. I remember seen a couple with chubby girls.

Dancing is the most best type of exercise there is. Dancers are skinny because they work out lots and eat lots of healthy food to keep stamina up....it's good to be a skinny dancer because you can get lifted and can be really flexible but dancers are very strong and well built :)

You must not be much of a dancer if you are not skinny. The average PROFESSIONAL dancer uses up 3000 to 4000 CALORIES A DAY and dancers have the WORST NUTRITIOAL HABITS IN THE WORLD.. in fact.. dancers are KNOWN for their poor eating habits.. If you are not SKINNY then either you are not much of a dancer or you eat too much... REAL DANCERS ARE NOT FAT.. it's just physically and MATHMATICALLY IMPOSSIBLE... oh.. and REAL DANCERS DON'T HAVE TITZ and CURVERS either... hell.. many professional dancers DON'T EVEN HAVE PERIODS.

Yeah it might be reason too , "heavy ones" sometimes do shy.. Another reason is that most dancers loose their fat (by dancing).. You are not skinny coz you might be new to this "field" .. Good dancers (professional ones) have well balanced diet. They usually eat that much calories which they loose ,not enough..

There is a lot of pressure to be stick thin these days, just look at models. Unfortunately there are pressures on dancers to be thin too. All the good dancers i've seen are a healthy weight, with lots of muscle and strength!

Dancing burns a lot of fat. After a while is will burn all of the fat from almost every part around your waistline. It's all of that twisting and turning that causes it.

Well to be honest, from an average person's point of view, a skinny dancer is always more attracting or intriguing. That doesn't mean that you should quit. Pursue your happiness.
