This is the truth. American ballerinas are considered huge by Russian standards and if you've ever seen one, this is obviously not the case. Russian companies hold their dancers to a very strict standard and they are looked at as highly trained athletes, not entertainers. This particular dancer decided to be a diva and her company felt that was unacceptable. She will not last and as soon as a loophole is found where they can release her, they will. It wasn't about the weight at all - just the weight she was trying to throw around.
