Hey I am a dancer looking to get smaller thigh and calf sizes so if anyone has good ways to reduce fat/muscle bulkiness in legs that would be really appreciated!

    You can't spot reduce fat.

    I'm not sure how someone whose profession depends on leg muscles would go about getting smaller leg muscles.

    Choose your parents.
    Seriously, you can't pick where your fat goes. I have a belly, but my legs are relatively slim. If you gain in your hips and legs, well...

    ETA: I'm assuming that you are slim as you mention you are a dancer. If you have a higher bf% you can lose fat all over. The only way to reduce muscle size that I know is to waste them. Bad idea all around.
    My guess is that if you exercise your legs they will appear longer

    Other than what's been mentioned above, pay extra attention to stretching after all exercise. It's not a full solution, but may help. Also pay attention to your technique. Improper repeated execution of moves could impact how the muscle forms.
