You need to be reasonably light and flexible to be able to do some of the moves, but there are parts available where it doesn't really matter.

How did ballet devolop?

Ballet was originally developed in Italy in the renaissance times. Many people seem to believe it was developed in France because they are the ones who made it famous, but it was Italy. The original ballet dancers were not like the skinny ones you see today. They were actually pretty overweight because back in the renaissance times, if you were overweight, you were rich because you could buy food, and ballet was only for the rich during those times so you almost never saw a skinny ballet dancer. But as time went on, new forms of ballet were developed and the goal went from "stuff yourself with food" to "become as light as a feather and as skinny as a toothpick". So ballet has come a long way, and that's how ballet developed.
