Famed ballroom dancers say that the professional scene for women is immensely sexist and just like a ballet dancer, you have for starve for that petite dimunitive body. The scene also gets bitchy and sabotage prone when push comes to shove, so it is not roses all the way as it is portrayed on Strictly Come Dancing
