Threads: Accelerated Youth

About a year ago a video featuring 7-year-old girls dancing to, Beyonce - Single Ladies, caused controversy as many people thought both the outfits and dance moves were not age appropriate for the little girls. See video below.

This routine was performed at a dance competition and not meant to be shown worldwide, but now this particular video has 4,762,830 hits on youtube. That said there are programs out there which are public shown that raise the same issues. Toddlers and Tiaras, Dance Moms and other dancing and beauty pageant reality shows publicly display footage like this every week. Most recently reality show Dance Moms has hit news headline in America.

One particular routine shocked viewers as well as the Moms when they saw it was Electricity.

The outfits are very similar to those in the Single Ladies routine.

I myself danced for many years and had to wear some skimpy outfit like shorts and a crop top, but I think adding stockings with frilly knickers and top together with the heavy make-up and sexual dance moves makes it age inappropriate. Many people have similar view and yet it is still shown by the media and the routine came 1st at the competition.
