"Is that because they don't audition, they can't dance the choreography, or the toned and [muscular] types are the only ones hired [to dance in the choruses of musicals]"
I cannot answer that question, so I'll leave it to casting directors and directors to do so. Maybe someone can also ask them if they think a quota system should be instituted that requires the hiring of a certain number of large-bodied, full-figured, or overweight (choose your own acceptable term) dancers for shows. |
