This is true. Dance is bridging the gap between ears and eyes - we are making the music visible and using our bodies to tell its story visually. It is very much a celebration of the beauty of the human form and the power, agility, and grace we can attain. And yes, fat bodies in dance - even talented ones - have a way of watering that down. It's not even just that fat bodies aren't visually attractive to most of us; it's mostly that they can't ever reach the skill level they could've done if they were a healthy size. It's a shame to see someone who is passionate about dance refusing to lose the weight so they can be better dancers. This whole "fatness as a form of activism" thing is fucking crap.
