Yes! Look at Alina Cojacaru! She has very wide feet, and is an incredible dancer! If you don't like the way wide feet look for a ballerina, using different pointe shoes may be able to make your foot look thinner.

Although most ballerinas tend to have smaller or average sized feet, some ballerinas find that larger feet does not affect the difficulty or the ability to dance.
Ballerinas do not necessarily have curved feet. It all depends on the dancer's tendu (i.e foot being pointed). Some dancers have naturally strong and flexible toes and feet, while others have to work to improve their arches in the feet. If you wanted to go on to Pointe, you would have to have extremely strong feet and a good arch. If you want, try this: Point your toes and then you will see that everyone has curved feet, it's just that ballerinas have more developed feet. :) I hope that helps answer your question! - Dottini :P (The Ballet Girl)
"Pointing" your feet. The scientific term is "plantar flexion," but most ballerinas just say that they are pointing their feet or toes.
male ballerinas are called danseurs.
Anna Pavalova and Marie Taglioni were famous ballerinas at the beginning of it all. See the Related Link below for more ballerinas.
