I'm a dancer so my legs are pretty strong and they need to stay that way but I still feel like my thighs are too big and I'd like to lose some fat there with out losing muscle. Any suggestions on how? Also any tips on how to keep my leg muscles from getting too bulky? Thanks!

    You can't spot reduce, and the only way your legs will get bulky is if you're in a calorie surplus while doing strength training

    To me, this makes me sad because dancers with muscular legs are so beautiful. Most folks here would kill for the legs of a dancer.

    Are you actually overweight, or do you just not like your legs as they are? Trimming leg muscles down would be something I'd recommend talking to a good trainer or long time dancer about.
