I dunno but I think you guys might be talking past each other a bit - this discussion is different depending on whether "dancing" is ballroom dancing, e.g. or ballet, modern, or what have you.
Although even with modern, there is a strong school aiming to democratize dance. My family were performers in Kaeja D'Dance (http://www.kaeja.org/) Porch View Dances this year (look it up if you like dance) and the performances were very good. The choreographers were very careful to work around body types and capabilities.
