Considering it was one of three movies that she was in that were released in 2018, she may have been too busy for a bigger role. Or maybe she got the role she wanted? Not everyone wants a lead role.

yeah ik and I’m not saying it had to be her- just saying I think Chloe would’ve fit Dakota’s role much more. But I would love to know who else besides Dakota was considered

It would need to have been someone else willing to train for 2 years in ballet like Dakota did. I would think that would narrow down the choices considerably. There's some interesting information on the IMDB trivia page. Isabelle Fuhrman and Natalie Portman were originally considered. This was when David Gordon Green was attached to direct.
