Its very sexually suggestive and not something I would appreciate as a father.
These are moves Id expect to see in a strip club not by advanced toddlers.

Unfortunately, this video has gone viral. It was never intended to be viewed by the masses. It was performed on stage to a group of parents who Do approve of dance for their children. I'd be shocked and appalled if I saw my child doing that on the playground, but during a presentation geared toward dancers and their parents/families, I personally don't see it as a horrible thing. I'd prefer that over parents who do the Jonbenet thing and dress their baby girls up to look like lolitas.

Hey yeah if my wife were still able to do moves like that I'm staying home. No need for a firelight romance. If you know what I mean?
Having my 9 year old daughter in skin stretch shorts doing sexual pelvic moves on a public stage. mmmm my opinion.
Maybe I'm just imagining that pedophiles are mythological imaginations of my subconscious. What will a judge say if one of these sickos rapes and abuses a child and then uses this visual invitation as his sick reasoning?
No people please lets not see a child of 9 doing sexual moves as cute. Am I the only one here seeing this????

They are dance moves. They're dance moves to the girls. The girls don't have the same sexual associations to the dance moves as adults do. They were in a dance competition. If you dislike the moves and you have children, do not sign them up for contemporary dance classes, but you should also not condone parents who do sign their children up for such classes. The girls obviously love to dance, so let them.
I'm not trying to change your opinion at all, Shaun. I'm as against crimes against children as the next person (probably moreso, but that's another discussion!) But if you go by the costume standards, then what of gymnastics, ice skating, etc which leave absolutely nothing to the imagination? I wouldn't condone my youngsters performing that routine, but at the same time, I do feel sorry for the little girls. I'm sure they were quite proud of their performance and now it's seen as scandalous all over the web.

Guys your opinion is noted but please try consider mine. These adult sexual pelvic moves maybe a “dance” but they are no doubt suggestive. I know this because I happen to be an adult male.
luckycharm I certainly would never allow my advanced toddle to use provocative sexual moves as an excuse for ‘dancing’. Any reasonable parent considering allowing their child to participate in such profanity should seriously have their heads read. It’s a fact not a debate.

That is your opinion, I have mine. I don't have children, and therefore I cannot metaphorically slip into your shoes easily. I understand that some parents are against it, but some are not against it, and people should be respectful of that, even when they do not agree. It is a style of dance to the children, teachers, judges and parents, nothing more. People who think of it only as sexually inappropriate for children to do, probably do not have much knowledge about competitive dance. I understand your opinion, again, keep your child(ren) out of modern dance classes, but do not condone parents who do. They are no better or worse parents than you are for letting their children have fun doing something they enjoy.

Cohabbing is cruelty...
Um,,,I think the word is condemn, not condone.
If SI condoned it, he would be for it and not against it....

Ah you're correct. Too much research essay lately, has resulted in a jumbled brain. To correct myself, do not condemn those parents! My mistake. I'm not asking for anyone to change their opinion, but to acknowledge that the parents of the girls in the video are not bad parents.

Your opinion but I disagree. Having any child dance in a manner that is sexually provocatively is an insult to common sense.
Why not introduce a "fireman's Pole" and have little kids dance imitating "professionals" in a strip bar.
You can also then call that dancing and praise the parents?

My fiance has been doing competitive ballet and modern dance for going on 16 years now... She finds this dance to be completely inappropriate for 8 year olds...
I personally find it inappropriate for anyone to be doing in public and am very sad to see that America has come to be a place that sexualizes little girls that have no idea what they are doing... To even allow a minor to dance like that, especially in public calls the parents and the studio managers and teachers sanity into question... With all the problems out there of sexual predators, who in the world would give their young child over to a dance that would get those sicko's off?
Seriously. I do not understand why people do this to little children. Let kids stay kids and stop living your sexual wants through them... It is disgusting.

No, I would not.
The video was not meant to be released to the internet. It was a private dance competition. An urban dance competition put on by World of Dance.

Obviously a competition geared more towards adults, but the fact that the girls in the group were able to compete is a testament to their dancing skills.

I am not saying that the kids were not good at what they were doing I'm saying that this type of entertainment is inappropriate for advanced toddlers.
It does not matter if the performance was not supposed to be U-Tubed. The SEXUAL provocative moves in the dance is not appropriate for children let alone to be orchestrated by them.
The person/company who trains children to preform sexual provocative simulations and moments should be outlawed and not seen as art.

It's a popular style of dance, little kids wanna be like the big kids. Creative freedom, is creative freedom. Somehow I don't think that you would like the style of dance if you saw it performed by an adult either. It's a matter of taste, urban dance is not for some people, others really enjoy it.

The style of dancing... = Under age children doing adult sexually explicit pulsating body moves. (Good or Bad)
Taste... = Please explain what you regard as being in good taste about children doing sexually explicit body moments in front of sexually active adults?
Dance = Art. Please explain how under age children trained to use SEXUAL movements as a dance act can be considered an ethical art forum?
Three questions luckycharm

The children's dancing being viewed as sexually explicit is blown out of proportion, at most it is age inappropriate. I would call it sexually explicit dancing if they were nude, grabbing themselves inappropriately, using inappropriate props, or a pole. So basically if they were strippers, I would define their dancing as sexually explicit.
My reference to taste was to the style of dance in general, not the children's performance per say. Again, they weren't exactly explicit. And I doubt that their parents and other dance teams in the competition were pedophiles. If you would like, I can define "sexually explicit" for you as it is defined by U.S. law.
Again, dance being a form of art was not referring to the girl's performance specifically, more in general. And the girls are not taught the movements in reference to sex. The only reason you associate the movements with sex is because you have had sex, and you know how it works. The girls were not taught these dance moves with the intention to exploit them in a sexual manner.
P.S. You may call me by my name if you would like, it's in my signature.

Ah goodness, I hope you meant sweetie or something of that nature as I can assure you that I am not perspiring at the moment. 
I think it is safe to say that we have opposing views and that no amount of proving points to one another will change either of our minds, which I never intended to do. My only intention was to have those who see the situation as very wrong, to consider a more innocent side to the story. Little girls should not be dressing like 20-something year-olds, or dancing like them for that matter, on that I agree with you. I am not without morals, nor do I really want to see young girls dancing in such a manner, do not fret.
