My daughter has been doing dance competitions since she was four. I am very thankful her teacher is conservative when it comes to costumes. They always have to wear tights. Some of the stuff that some of these very young girls (not to mention the older ones) trot out there on stage in is embarrassing. If I see one of those costumes, I pay a lot of attention to my phone or I just get up and walk out. Blatantly inappropriate. @VolsDoc81TX can probably attest to this.
One dance competition that I missed due to a Scout campout with my son… a dance company had a dance disqualify. My wife told me that they were setting up what looked like portable stripper poles. The judges stopped the crew and asked the dance company owner to come to the judges table. They had a heated exchange and the owner stormed off.
My daughter’s dance followed. My wife was backstage and said that the dancers for the disqualified dance all looked like they were wearing little stripper outfits. They were about 12… my wife was horrified for these little girls.
Another Mom from our studio overheard them complaining that it was unfair and that the girls looked so cute on the poles.
The studio closed not long afterwards…
Really is scary.
