Am I getting old or is this horribly wrong?

[MaryAnnDVC]

That being said......go back and actually WATCH the dance. Those kids have some serious talent!

I think everyone actually WATCHED the dance first time around. And I'd bet most people would say they were talented. Why does "talent" have to be overshadowed by inappropriate moves/costumes?

Was this a pedophile convention?

I bet they'll have no problem funding their college educations with moves like that; yes, imagine how they'll be dancing when they're 17!

Very talented little tarts, aren't they?

couldn't have said it better myself. Those poor kids- what will they be doing at 15??

 

[DWGal210]

Wow. Just. . . wow. I felt like the camera crews from "To Catch A Predator" were going to pop out any second and bust the whole audience.

I know!!! Wowza....I have no words.

Wow fabulous dancers but the costumes are not appropriate, I had to look twice as I thought I had the wrong youtube video, as when I first looked I thought they were older young women and the screen was small. But I have to say i feel disgusted at their outfits. totally inappropriate. As someone commented on the youtube page, every paedo in the world will be "looking" and I use that phrase loosely . Their parents have a lot to answer for for allowing that to take place.

Lady Gagas in the making.

I agree - amazing dance talents & inappropriate costumes & moves.

 

[AKL_Megs]

They could have maybe had TIGHTS on under the short shorts...

Other than than, talented dancers! My goodness! That could take them places one day!

Wish I could dance like that!

 

[momof1princess]

these girls are incredible dancers, BUT, the costumes and routine are entirely inappropriate for their age. my DD12 has taken dance for several years, and there's NO way her teacher would allow anyone on stage dressed like that, nor would the little girls be shakin' what their mamas gave them. it's appalling.

Yeah- I see a future for them- jumping out of cakes for instance.... I can't believe the poor judgement their parents have shown.

 

[DSNY4ever]

Hmmm....what is the right age for objectifying yourself as a sex object?

8. If they had been 8 this would be a whole different story

 

[AKL_Megs]

Or... making big bucks being back up dancers for famous singers (Beyonce, anybody?), or making big bucks on Broadway, Vegas shows...

lol

They are dancing provacatively at 8 years old.... Their role models (parents) are showing EXTREMELY poor judgement. What do you suppose they will be doing at 15?

[MushyMushy]

Seeing that makes me want to knock all their parents' heads together. What on earth are they thinking allowing their kids to dance like that?

 

[hulagirl87]

wow. I was disturbed but couldn't help but watch the whole thing They were talented, I will give them that. But as a new mom, I can't imagine DD wearing an outfit like that and dancing up on stage suggestively.

 

[LoraJ]

Great dancers. I think full black leotards like Beyonce wore would have been better. Yeesh!

Agree.
Based on the comments here I thought the moves would be much worse. I thought the costumes were inappropriate though and a few of the moves could have been toned down a bit.

I don't really see how the moves could have been much worse. It was very sexual- which is fine if you are a back up dancer for Beyonce, but disgusting if you're a child in a talent show.

 

[luvmyfam444]

OH MY! Such great parenting represented there! I'd yank my kids out of a school like that sooo fast - actually mine would never be in a dance school that had girls dress or dance like that.

 

[AKL_Megs]

But that is what they were doing, the dance BEYONCE did! And boy, did they do it... dead on! Now THAT is talent! I agree, they could have had more clothes on. But like another poster said, it wasn't the child molester convention (although, introducing the video to YouTube, well... )... it was kids dancing to a routine.

 

[shortbun]

I'm pretty prudish but I think the costumes are being judged due to their color comination. They don't seem skimpy nor does the dance seem bad. They are not simulating anything...just a little shimmy here and there. Anytime you go to a contemporary dance recital or contest, they do this kind of stuff. Have you seen cheerleaders routines lately?
