[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 359118, member: 1233"] While the kids in Janet's clip were cute, and they were learning the basic steps to the rhumba (which my childhood bff's mom and gma taught us, along with the Hustle and many other dances) which is not a problem for me. But what is up with the costumes? I noticed in Dancing With the Stars that the female costumes try to have no back and as much of the sides cut out at possible. Not on every dress, but on many of them. Some of the female professionals dress as though having anything that covers more of their torso than a bikini is going to eliminate them from the competition. What is up with the little one's in Janet's clip having just bra backs or halter backs and even the sides of the dress cut so that from the front you see their sides exposed? Is the world really so advanced that seeing kids in costumes like that is OK? Do they have to dress like that to compete? I don't mind the ballroom dancing. Not the way the kids were doing it, esp the little girl. But WHY can the costumes not be so skimpy and sexualized? WHY make the little girls dress that way? Childhood is short enough. Leave the kids' clothes on and let them cover themselves. Why teach them that to be pretty and dance they have to be almost naked? Those dresses only had material in the front. Not in the back or even on the sides. For adult women the side exposure is to make you look sexier and give at least the impression of a flash of breast. Little girls should NOT be dressed that way. Makes me want to imitate Ray Stevens and scream for the kids to put their clothes on ("Ethel, Put yer clothes on!" from the song called "The streak") [/QUOTE]
