i went through a lot if this when I was younger. one of the reasons I danced character roles - the wicked step mother, Qypsy Queen - was because I wasn't teeny - tiny. Didnt' mena I couldn't dance, jsut that I wasnt' a fit for the chorus or the leads.
It was fun, though. And Character dancers tend to have longer careers.
That having been said, I agree that this is an issue in the overall dance industry. Nice to know that there are some choreographers who are changing that!
