The prejudicial assumption of physical capabilities of a bigger-bodied individual is a consistent issue among the dance community. The dance industry should put an end to perpetuating the concept of anti-fatness on dancers because it creates unhealthy body images and a misconception of beauty, which projects a traditionally unrealistic expectation of the ideal physique of a dancer. By allowing themselves to engage in the body positive movement on social media, the dance community can utilize the content made by plus sized dancers and other bigger-bodied artists in support of body positivity and body acceptance.
