I know exactly what it takes. I've been dancing since I was 4. Ballet, tap, Irish, and a variety of others..... If I had even attempted such a routine at that age, my Mother would have stopped it immediately. Because she is a good Mom.
Same here. Ballet, tap, jazz and the bad knees to go with it.
Now before you all get upset, watch the video without sound and just watch them moving. WOW! Really look at the costumes. Its shorts, knee socks and a bikini top. Sexy yes, but its far from a thong.
These girls are in a national dance competition. As with any competition you do what you have to do to win. Its a jazz competition, not ballet, or tap where costumes are more sedate. Winning a jazz dance competition is not just about technical skill. Its about costumes and attitude right along with skill and amplitude. Both the instructors and parents know that sex sells and used it as a tool. Now matter how you want to sugar coat that term, cute, adorable, innocent, it is all the same. Sex sells. And they won.
Ever watch parents and boys with sports or girl's with cheer leading?They are pushed to do whatever it takes to win. This is nothing different just in different costumes.
Parents have a way of living vicarious lives through their children.
Bottom line is the girls all are great dancers. And sad to say pedophiles will have a field day with this video.
I know, I did competitive dance as a kid. I still have nightmares about it! Mom said it was good for my confidence.... I guess she was right. I hate when my Mom is right.... One thing for sure.... she would not have let me on stage wearing what those kids wore. And dancing to Beyonce at 7 is just sick, in my opinion. They can showcase their talent without acting like grown ups at 7!
