Question: Is it possible for me to wear a leotard without looking ridiculous!?
I'm considering a musical theatre minor, but that would mean taking jazz or ballet, both of which require wearing a leotard!. The problem!? I'm a size 22!. I'm proportioned, I'm not one of those weird-looking fat people, and I'm just fine in a one-piece swimsuit, but I don't know what the options would be as far as a leo is concerned!. Do they even make leotards in my size!? Could I, perhaps, put a one piece swimsuit under one to smooth things out!? Or would me in a leotard just be a traumatic experience for everyone!?
(Don't tell me to lose weight!. Obviously, that's the best choice, and I'm working on it!. However, the introductory classes are only offered every now and then and are prerequisites for other required courses, so I might have to take them sooner rather than later if I'm going to at all!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Do not listen to people tell you to not do it!! My god!.!.!. there is no rule that says fuller figured gals can't dance! Infact, I know some that are wonderful dancers!
I wouldn't wear a swimsuit underneath one, but if you are able to, I would go with a little ballet skirt over your leo to make you feel more comfortable!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Try the leotard and if you're allowed you can wear a tank or cami or something over the top and shorts!. In all of my dance classes, I would do that!.!.!.leo, tights, cami, and dance shorts!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
