I would, and as a dance assistant I have told a girl she was too big for a lift. It was the truth, I needed a smaller, shorter girl. I don't dance around it because I don't think it is anything to hide or be ashamed of. We are all built differently and have different strengths and weaknesses and that is ok. CP's dance teacher is open and honest about it and I really appreciate it. Everyone has a different body type and is suited to different things. CP is to short and stocky to ever be the best jumper in her class. Her teacher is upfront about that and the physical reason for it. She is a beautiful turner however and it is partially due to a low center of gravity. She knows this too. I wish her cheer coaches were more open about it.Also... Would YOU feel comfortable telling someone else's kid that they're too big to fly?
