Overweight Daughter doing dance- any dance teachers on here?

My daughter is 9. She is very tall and also overweight.
She comes from big stock (me and husband are not petite)
We try to keep her active and we are all working as a family to eat healthier.

She has discovered a dance group- majorettes - baton/pom poms.

The girls in her group are all small and she does stick out a bit. The costumes are all like sparkly leotards.

No one has been unkind and she really enjoys it!

Are there any dance teachers on here? Is it ok for bigger girls to do dance?
Does it affect anything? Groups not doing as well in competitions?

Please no one come at me- I love my daughter and want to protect her- I feel like putting her in the dance world may open her up to bullying.

Dance should be for everyone, not just people with specific body types. I hope she keeps going and keeps enjoying it.
