Too Short OR Too Tall For Ballet?

Welcome to this week’s video where Michael talks on an issue that many dancers face: the industry's fixation on height and its impact on job opportunities. In this video, we address the long-standing problem of dancers being told they’re either too tall or too short for certain roles, and how these standards can limit careers. More importantly, we’ll discuss the need for change—how the industry can and should focus on the artistry, technique, and individuality of dancers, rather than rigid physical standards. Have you been told “no” from a company just because of your height? Let us know what you think about this one in the comments. Thank you for watching! Get in touch!
