Would You Let Your Kid....

Earlier this week, a YouTube video surfaced from The World of Dance competition in which a group of young -- and we mean really young -- girls wearing midriff-baring tops, short skirts and black stockings dance to Beyonce's 'Single Ladies.' The dance troupe, called Precision Dance, hails from Orange County, and definitely "put a ring on it" during the competition in Pomona on April 10.

Larry Peters, executive vice president of The Hozman Group and rep for the dance competition, says the controversy was blown out of proportion. "There has been a great deal of controversy regarding this performance, and it has been taken out of context. It is a little sensitive now, to say the least," Peters tells PopEater.

You should watch the video. I'm left trying to fathom the parents that let their kids do this.

Wow.  As to the parents comments - Double Wow.

Couldn't watch the whole clip. Right after the "lead" dancer lifted her leg up and showed the whole world her cam-toe (for like ten seconds) in uber short-shorts, I couldn't understand how their parents don't think that's just a little bit dirty to say the least.

So I guess we're all perverts for watching them? Or are they for producing such a routine? Nice turn on words by those people.... "We're not perverts... You are." Riiiight...

All I gotta say is, good luck with raising them, and having any kind of "following" besides the peds they'll get.

It could have been worse, but damn... that doesn't make it right, does it?

Disturbing but Im not the least bit surprised. Turn on MTV, VH1, or even the Disney Channel and you will find teens and adults dancing this way all the time. Go to Wal-Mart and see what clothes parents these days are buying for their kids.

WTF? Pedo at its best

Hell no. Im am borderline with the make up my daughter has to wear when in AAU Gymnastics meets.

LMAO!!!!

Serious question... is that any different than what you'd seen from gymnastics?

As a father of an 11 yr old who's involved in dance, i had no problem with the routine.... my problem is with the outfits. My daughter could never dress like that.

[olafberserker]

The outfits were the biggest problem in my opinion.  Other than the last few seconds of the routine, I didn't think anything of it.

I watched it and waited to so OMG, but never did. Just a PC world making too much of nothing. Will be a great day when we stop becoming such sissies.

[TURBO]

That is disgusting, and a pedophiles dream.

Hyperbole? How is that hyperbole? I simply said like it or not this has become the norm of society.

Watch Beyonce's music video and try to tell me that it isnt sexually-suggestive. And then you have 8 year olds emulating it.
