A Russian ballet group consisting entirely of fatties is to tour the UK - but (according to Ananova) only after health and safety officials check that the stage in each venue can safely carry their weight. The dancers weigh-in at a mimimum of 113kg.
The Big Ballet, hauling from the Urals, will include some spoofs of classics, such as Swan Lake and the Nutcracker. There will also be a more moderm component where the tutu-tubbies will perform to music from artists such as Robbie Williams, Tom Jones and the Pet Shop Boys.
The dancers courageously and imposingly prove that grace, elegance, charisma and nimbleness is not the demesne of the "thin", proudly presenting their voluptuous yet surprisingly sinuous and flexible figures.
