Big Ballet is a 2014 British documentary program that follows Wayne Sleep and prima ballerina Monica Loughman[1][2] as they help a troupe of amateur plus-size dancers realize their dream of dancing Swan Lake.[3] The three-episode series, produced by Rare Day[4] and broadcast on Channel 4, premiered on February 6, 2014.
The dancers, referred to in the show as "fat" or "real women", range from UK size 12 to 24 – significantly larger than the norm in classical ballet. Eighteen dancers were selected from a pool of more than 500 applicants to participate in the series.[5]

Set
It was predominantly filmed at the Northern Ballet;[6] its final performance was staged at St George's Hall, Bradford[7] in front of 1,500 people.[8]
