No.
It was a good comparison and not because they have a kind of physical similarity but more for the sort of 'big but agile' and actually a kind of encouraging 'unapologetic' attitude about their weight and freely dancing, jumping about and moving enthusiastically.

It is complimentary and was accurate in that sense it was connecting them.

Another good example might be Chubby Checker or The Big Bopper (maybe staying with singer-dancers is a better idea).
