BIG BALLET - PAGE 3

Big Ballet small logo
(2014) Ovation proudly presents Big Ballet, a three-part series that chronicles the highs and lows of a plus-size amateur troupe mounting a production of Swan Lake. Led by ballet legend Wayne Sleep, who worked through his own size issues as the shortest dancer ever to debut on the Royal Ballet stage, and Prima Ballerina Monica Loughman, Big Ballet shows the world that it's not about the size of the dancer, but the size of the dancer's heart.
