In the plus-size format: this ballerina proved to the world that she can also be graceful

Lizzy Howell is a 17—year-old ballerina who is unlike any other girl in this art form. The thing is that the parameters of young Lizzie are far from "90-60-90", and this fact often becomes a cause for ridicule. However, when they see her on stage, all the detractors usually close their mouths. Lush Lizzie impresses with her grace and professionalism, which many slim girls can envy.

Lizzie Howell suddenly became famous all over the world after a video was published on the Internet in which the girl performs impressive ballet steps.

Seeing a dancer of this size is very unusual for most people. However, Lizzie Howell is not shy about her forms and proves to others in every possible way that appearance in dance is not the main thing.

According to Lizzie, to achieve anything, you need to believe in yourself and make every effort.

The girl dreamed of dancing from the age of 5, and even a large physique could not stop her on the way to the goal.

In addition, Lizzie was engaged in swimming and football.

Now the interests of the girl, in addition to ballet, include other areas of dance: contemporary, modern, jazz and lyrical dances.

The girl treats with humor how others react to her appearance in the ballet. According to Lizzie, it helps that during the dance everyone is focused on their movements and there is simply no time to pay attention to others.

Lizzie says that the main thing in dancing is concentration and attention. One day a girl gave a performance in memory of her mother with her photo in her hands, and at one point she was so overwhelmed with emotions that in the end the show failed.

The next time Lizzie chose a more restrained theme, and the performance went well.

The girl is genuinely surprised that the video of her dance has become so popular on the Internet.

"It's great that I managed to break the rigid stereotypes," says Lizzie, "I'm sure that all people, regardless of their size and weight, deserve equal treatment."
