This is way too sad. _________________________ Ladywolfe's Bistro Listings: http://diamondbistro.com/other/266/seller.html

Those of us with fresh eyes who are not part of this world can clearly see how inappropriate this is. I'm all for artisitc expression in dance and moving the body for exercise and confidence, but this particular dance is uncomfortably suggestive when done by 7 yr olds. Blech.

I thought the video was very sad, and those parents should be ashamed of themselves sexualizing their children in that way. It makes me cringe when I think of all the little girls that are stolen by sexual predators......... _________________________ Of course I'm out of my mind - It's dark and scary in there!!!!

Dana ♥ Dana ♥ Afficionado Registered: 04/07/09 Posts: 405 Loc: GA	i'm not gonna watch the video because it'll just make me upset. but this thread reminds me of how ANGRY i got, and how i had just a few words for my stepbrother a few years back when he was helping his daughter - she was about three at the time - learn the words to that Britney Spears "I'm A Slave For U" song. so she could sing it at karaoke. dude was in his 30's, he should've known better! i'll admit, when i was 3 years old, i was listening to music that most people wouldn't consider appropriate for a little munchkin (Kiss & Conway Twitty, as two examples) and i have a very distinct memory of one day, after kindergarten, coming home and listening to a Prince record and then a Strawberry Shortcake record. all by myself in my room, and loving them both. so, er, i know i don't really have the right to pass judgements, but c'mon! teaching a toddler to bootydance while singing skank songs (i like Britney, don't get me wrong, but all her songs are about sex. just like Conway Twitty, and i like him, too) and thinking it is the funniest thing you've ever seen? that ain't right. much less filming it and putting it on the internet? _________________________ my Bistro listings

How the parents thought this was appropriate is beyond me and to top it off posted it on youtube so anybody could view it! Why do parents seem to want to rush their little girls to grow up to fast and miss out on their innocence?

They should be playing, learning, having fun. My kids took dance lessons, so I KNOW how long it takes to get a routine such as this down so well. Shame on the parents. And for those who think it is cute......I am sorry to say that they may be too young, or sheltered to know how this appeals to the degenerates of society. Stepping off my soapbox now. _________________________ At my grave,I want to skid in sideways.Chocolate in one hand,wine in the other,Yelling "What a Ride!
