Question:very curious


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: very curious

It's because small boobed women become professional dancers and not the other way around. (Meaning, it's not ballet that makes small boobs.) Women who study ballet - even very intensively - come in all shapes and sizes. But because most large breasted women tend to bounce a lot while dancing and very sturdy bras don't go with most ballet costumes, it's not easy for women with large breasts to become professional ballet dancers. For most large breasted women, it also hurts to bounce, which could cause them to not pursue serious, intense ballet training. Large breasted young dancers also get weeded out through the audition process.

Those who claim that breasts are mostly fat are wrong. Thin, 16 year old dancers who have muscles everywhere can be a 34DD which, when viewed through ultrasound, will show 99% breast tissue. Such young dancers who are passionate about dance and are tired of the physical pain and humiliation of daily sexual harassment may choose to have breast reduction surgery.

b'coz they have to have a very low fat% , and boobs are fat , mostly .

It's not just ballet dancers it's vigil athletes. If you look most women that are serious athletes they have small boobs. It's because when you work out/train/ or are seriously active you body loses fat. Your boob are what goes. From the time i was 6yrs old till i was 19 yrs i was a big athlete and i never remember having boobs over an A cup. once i got out of highschool and the games and stuff weren't all the time i began gaining weight i was a 34 A in highschool. 2 years after being out and the sports stopped i began to grow now im a 40 B and it's been 5 years since i got out

It really just depends on their natural body shape. Most ballet dancers don't even need to exericse or diet because they are just naturally thin.

I have HUGE boobs (try a DD cup) but yet I am not fat, this is just how I am and it hasn't affected my dancing.

Well this doesn't go for all dancers, but most don't have large breasts because they have a low body fat percentage and most of the breast is just fat. Some people just are just naturally large or small though.

ur right- i think its because they are so dang skinny

I dunno.

hmm why do you lke to notice lol

Its really dependent on the dancer, and please remember, because so many dance costumes are backless or strapless, theyre often taped down with ace bandages and body bands. I've been a dancer and gymnast for 22 years, and I'd say I have a decent rack. Not huge, but I'm certainly not flat. Just for comparison purposes, I'm 5'9, about 129 pounds, and a 36c. It really varies by dancer.

They have smaller fronts because they don't eat much so,they don't get enough fats for their fronts.Just imagine them dancing while their fronts are bouncing.this is just my conclusion

i think it's just to do with their body shape and the diet they could be on :-)
