Just something to think about....

To audition for the Radio City Rockettes there are strict guidelines for height:

between 5’6 and 5’10 ½

 

Although there is no “formal weight” requirement, all the female performers are below 135 pounds.

 

Many ballet companies in NYC want their dancers to be between 5’2 and 5’7 and their weight SHOULDN’T EXCEED 115 pounds!!!

 

Now, let’s look at height and weight for models:
