    Wow. Just getting to read this, now that the fun is over. My instructor is tiny and does crossfit, if anything she's underweight. This dance accepts all body types, but it certainly doesn't dictate the body type you'll have lol

    UGH. Ok, I just saw this. And sadly, I wish I had not. It really makes me not want to perform for the general public and just perform for the other dancers in my community. Which is sad, I want to get this dance out there and let everyone know we're here and what we're all about and that this dance is for every BODY. Regardless of what the media may say. But clearly, a lot of people just don't get it.
