I found this at aol.com:

These little girls are only seven years old and people are arguing over COSTUMES... they need to be arguing over who in the heck let these baby girls do this.

mlc92404 · May 2010

I wanna know how 7 year old girls learn to move like that! What the heck are they going to be doing when they get older?!?!?

Some grown person taught them to do that! That's the crazy part.

jessiel19 · May 2010

Wow is right. I'm not convinced if I have a girl I would let her show that much skin at a swimming pool at 7

MrsSR · May 2010

No way.... OMG. I cannot believe parents were okay with that. If my girl were on a dance team and that is what they were wearing and that is how they were dancing, she'd be pulled.

Come on now people!

Carrano29 · May 2010

um yea, wow, my DH was like what the hell why would someone have them do that and dress that way. lol That is was rediculous. Maybe i wont be putting my little girl in dance classes when shes old enough. lol

nfatigato · May 2010

Omg, I felt borderline dirty for even watching that. Its amazing that 5 sets of parents actually thought that was ok. Disgusting, and I am not an overly conservative person by any means. The dancing, outfits, and the song itself were completely inappropriate for little girls.

kuma08 · May 2010

The sad part is that these girls will probably be dancing in music videos in 10 years. And who are we to blame? The moms and dads cheering them on in the audience!

What ever happened to tutu's ?

pnwmama11 · May 2010

That video made me sick to my stomach. What is WRONG with people?!

rednecklover · May 2010

**Lurking**

I don't even know what to think. My little girl will not be allowed to dance like that when she is only 7 and she will not wear that risque of an outfit/costume either. I don't understand how those parents let them do that. If my daughter wants to dance when she is older, I'm not going to let her participate in a dance like that. Wow

ValentineBB · May 2010

So gross.

Yes Identical to what I was thinking! I had dance classes, yes some costumes showed your stomach but that is EXTREMELY unappropriate! Both the costumes AND especially those moves. That dance teacher must have no morals!

neferhathor · May 2010

oh HELLTOTHENAW. No way would my daughter dress or dance like that in public until she's 18 and too old for me to stop her. Seriously, WTF is wrong with their parents?

ryaroberts · May 2010

Apparently I'm in the minority here...I thought it was a great routine and bottom line is that's what dance costumes look like now. It's not like it was a boy/girl routine with them gyrating on each other. Even when I was in dance as a little girl, the costumes were very tiny, barely covering anything, and that was 20 yrs ago!

I agree that the song, routine, and outfits all go well together... but none of it should go with 7 year old girls. The girls did a good job, but their role models need to do their job to make sure that their girls do a good job at something that is appropriate.

No my little girl would not wear that or dane like that to music like that. What the hell were these parents thinking? I'm not sure how many of you have heard of a store called Libby Lu...I don't think they are open anymore, but their thing was to "dress-up" little girls(5-10ish) is these very whoreish outfitts and let them dance in the window or in front of the store like strippers. I HATED that store and like to have had a stroke when my aunt let my 6yr old cousin shop there...she did not do the dressing up...but still gave the store her money.

ryaroberts · May 2010

How is that any different than the pageant moms who doll up their little girls who are even younger than those dancers?

OMG seriously! The little girls that went to Libby Lu for parties ALL came out looking like miniature prostitutes. And not even the classy kind. I'm talking Whore-On-The-Corner.

none. I hate those pageants. they make me sad. ?

KristaNbHam · May 2010

With pageants, it depends on the parents. There are natural pageants and their are glitz pageants. I'm definitely a fan of natural pageants. Again, it all goes back to who is influencing the child. The child is the victim in circumstances such as this.

HappyMommy28 · May 2010

I'm lurking - the girls were good I'll give them that, however, they are 7. No 7 year old should be dancing like that or wearing outfits like that. This video is a pedophiles dream. Who knows how many pervs are looking at this. Ick.

i have a hard time with all that pageant stuff. While some girls enjoy it, others are forced into it because of their competitive AW mothers. I think its completely inappropriate. Little girls should be little girls. They don't need to be whored out just because times have changed. You can still dress cute and trendy without being distasteful.

Yes, but the glitz ones are far more popular. To each their own!

Yes THIS!

maramarrie · May 2010

I don't know if they're really only 7; regardless, this is completely inappropriate - both the song and the costumes. If nothing else, these girls have even younger siblings watching in the audience. This is terrible.

toyah81 · May 2010

I'm sorry but that is just awful! I've never approved of any of the dance teams/clubs etc. even growing up myself! Too much make up, too tight/small clothes and in front of any and everybody to see! It wasn't appropriate to me when I was young and it isn't now. Also, I found it so coincidental that those same girls I grew up with that were in those types of classes, were the same ones that became close to being the school whores or girls that were easy in highschool.

Not saying every girl who is in dance are like that or will become promiscuous, but the majority in my school were....tsk, tsk for those who thought that video was completely fine for those girls to do....

You took the words right out of my mouth!!!! OMG this is so wrong my DD is 5 and over my dead body would I EVER let her do anything like that!!!!!

That's horrible.

missthick · May 2010

I'm going to start off by saying those girls are AWESOME dancers, I hope with talent like that they get far in the entertainment industry...

...not the rap video industry, not the stripping industry, but maybe choreographing/performing in live concerts, award shows, broadway, ect.

Those costumes are completely inappropriate and the choreographer could have de-sexualized most of those moves all while keeping the intensity of the performance. No need to be bending over and shaking their tush or pointing to their chest! Like a pp said, that video is a pedophiles dream....I bet their parents are the same as pageant parents, they don't care what their kid has to do to make it to the top!

The girls certainly look like they were having fun, but it's a damn shame their parents allowed costumes and moves that risque.

nfatigato · May 2010

I agree they are awesome dancers. I just wish they could've changed the moves and the song to make it age appropriate. Hopefully they will find a healthy way to show off their talent as they get older.

ougrad1 · May 2010

I think the costumes are slightly inappropriate however, I don't think the dancing was that outrageous. They are damn good little dancers.

I agree they are great dancers, but don't you think the booty shaking and all the "pumping motions" were a bit much? I just personally wouldn't be too pleased if my daughter were doing that kind of dancing.

kayteatrudeau · May 2010

Holy crap can they dance...but their costumes are totally not ok with me. Some of the dance moves are also a little "advanced" for their age category.

AEOW13 · May 2010

Now, Im far from conservative and Ive been a dancer for many years as well as a dance teacher for a few of those years and there is no way in hell I'd allow my daughter or any of the kids that I taught to get up on stage in those costumes and move like that. Yes, their formation and choreography was quite impressive but that was way to much bare skin and a whole lotta thrusting for a bunch of baby girls!!

They were amazing dancers but if I had a daughter I would have had a fit if I saw her moving around like that! No bueno...

KatieMiami1220 · May 2010

Awesome dancers, but agree w/ PP that they needed to desexualize the routine and costumes.

Was anyone else reminded of Abigail Breslin in Little Miss Sunshine? Her "Super Freak" routine.... lol.

Actually, about 2 yrs ago, I ran a Club Libby Lu and yea, i hated the "rock star"costumes bc they were a little too much but most of the time, the girls wore little fairy costumes. As for the dancing, there was never any gyrating or anything sexy about it. It was hannah montana songs and the chicken dance. Mostly clapping and twirling, so im not sure what Club Libby Lu was around you, but the 2 stores I ran werent like that at all. Ive never seen any "stripper like" dances at any of the stores and frankly has no relation to this dance thing with these little girls. IMO

danseusefrancaise · May 2010

While these 7-year-old dancers are better than I was both at 12 and 20, this is completely inappropriate. The dancing and the costumes. I don't like it as a non-parent, and I'm pretty sure I would be appalled if I saw my 7-year-old daughter dancing and dressed like this.

lucylarou · May 2010

This makes me happy I'm having a boy. Yikes.

max1563 · May 2010

I live on Long Island, I have a 9 year old sister and this is how it is..I don't agree either but to me it isn't shocking at all!

knorton · May 2010

I took dance classes from the age of 5-18. My mom would only let me dance at a studio where our costumes would cover our bellies. And in my high school dance club, the rules were no back, boob, or belly showing for competitions or else you would be disqualified.

These girls look a little older than seven to me, but regardless of age that is ridiculous. What breaks my heart is that they are pretty talented little kiddos and that is how they are being told to display their talent. There parents need their heads examined.

That is exactly what I said when I was telling DH about this video. I would have no idea how to react if I went to my little girl's dance recital and that's how she was dancing.
