I have not seen the video, nor do I wish to.
In the 70s and early 80s... There are pictures taken of me in a cute spaghetti-strap tank/short-shorts combination... With Strawberry Shortcake on them. There's nothing, nothing, nothing sexual about them at all. I was about age 7-8.
I have pictures of Onyxx, age 8 and 9, where we would pick her up from BM's dressed HORRIBLY INAPPROPRIATELY. Skintight, super-low-rise jeans. SHORT shorts (that made my Strawberry Shortcake shorts look LONG). T-shirts cut up to and down to there. And then... she started showing up wearing Victoria's Secret underwear. AGE 9. PUSH UP BRAS - with nothing to push. (Several of her teachers at the time complained about her violating the dress code - but we could do NOTHING.)
She wore this stuff SO LONG that she claims it's "comfortable", and runs around in shirts that show off more than my bikini. TO SCHOOL. I cannot IMAGINE how jeans that crawl up into her crotch are comfortable. We've gone through her stuff and thrown away a TON of unacceptable clothes - somehow she gets more. I gave up.
This is the same girl that I caught, at age THIRTEEN, on top of her boyfriend, having sex. Clearly she was taught that this was the way to get what she wants. She also made my friend E very uncomfortable because of the way she would hug him - full body, rubbing. He didn't say anything at first - he didn't want to upset me. ME. It creeped me OUT. I finally talked to H (E's wife), and she and I decided to be "the bad guys". Onyxx was banned from hugging E. He was so relieved it wasn't even funny. (Age 12... Onyxx would sit on BM's boyfriend's lap and squirm around - in public. She wasn't allowed to so much as HUG her own father (husband). Boyfriend is the guy that was molesting her.)

I would be willing to say these kids are probably very talented. But - SHAME on the teacher for the choreography. SHAME on the parents for allowing it. The description of the costumes makes me want to vomit.
Several years ago a columnist came up with a word - "prostitots". This is what the parents are allowing to happen. The forced adultification of children.
LET them be kids. I swear.
GRRRRRRRR.
