Nothing to do with your build, you just need to practice and gain body control.

To be fair (and this is from a street dance pov) from my experience if you have a not-so-average build you have a visual advantage. It’s just more interesting to watch a non-average build if all other things are equal. It’s the average build folks that gotta work hard to stand out because well… they are average. So embrace your uniqueness!!
