Professional Dancer- but too short?

I have been told many times that I should be a professional dancer. Ive been to too many auditions, only to lose the part because of my height. I'm almost 5' 2" and about 110 pounds (but I don't look overweight). Do you know of any companies that work with only shorter people ? I've heard somewhere that there is a company like the rockettes for people who are too short to fit the height requirement. What is that called again? (or am i making this up)

    don't blame it on the height, i'm even shorter than you. the sad reality is you can do whatever you want and it wasn't just your height. it may make it that much harder but it's not just because of that.

    in my opinion....i comprehend this became asked 6 years in the past, and cases have replaced because of the fact then. plenty. commercial dancers those days are all short to common top, until the artist in specific needs taller dancers and girls, greater in specific speaking. as far because of the fact the athletic ingredient of this communique, I say shorter dancers have it much less complicated while it includes gaining power and potential. merely because of the fact they have not got as plenty limb to hold around. And it is much less complicated to %. up their easy-weight physique and pass. you recognize all of those 10 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous superb dancers like Sophia Lucia? How do you think of she's so great? of direction, skills. yet she's additionally merely like what, 60 kilos! check out how straightforward that's to regulate a 60 pound physique as against as a hundred and forty pound physique. It merely demands much less practise of muscle once you have much less muscle. that's a fact. i'm a tall dancer. 18 years previous. I nonetheless have difficulty with my physique. and that i've got been dancing because of the fact i became 4. i'm 5'9 a million/2", so...... it is plenty harder for me.
