I can't believe people are saying this is teaching young girls to be whores! o.e Why don't YOU pick up a dance class? Walk in ballet with sweat pants, tennis shoes and a baggy shirt and they'll send you RIGHT back out with the directions: "Go get a leotard, tights, and ballet shoes so I can see your lines." WHY do they need to see them? So you don't kill yourself trying to do what everyone else is doing!

@livedreamdance87 Ha, as you overlooked, I don't care if whore training starts young its not a big deal to me. Most women are grow up to be whores anyway might as well teach them to stay fit and active so they grow up to be attractive whores. And its not like I'm saying take this show off their air as it wasn't the first and wont be the last to teach little kids how to be drama causing myspacing clucking hen tools. I've got no problem with it but I'll be damned to pretend it isn't what it is.

People are going way over the top saying moms are insane and teachers are too overbearing. In the performing world, especially with dance, that's exactly what it's like if you want to make it anywhere. It's not a joke, it's work. Your feet bleed and you cry but you keep going because that's what you need if you want to be a successful dancer. These girls love to dance and they know how tough it is to make it out there professionally. They work for what they want and that's amazing.

@SkillGrip your ignorance is ridiculous! this show is not teaching young girls any of that stuff, it is showing off amazing young dancers. The reality of dance is that you often need to wear short shorts and tops so your teachers can see how your body moves and make sure your alignment is right. you're making broad sweeping generalizations that make you look like a crazy, narrow-minded person who refuses to listen to anyone who opposes them.

@SweetRidzy1021 You're so right it's not even funny. Dance is so fun and when my teacher yells out corrections I fix what I did and continue on.

I'm a dancer. The reason they go to dance class in short shorts and tops is so that they can make sure your body is moving correctly so you don't get hurt.

Does the show teach preteen girls to whore out? Yes, but so does every other show aimed at kids these days. Give the liberal plague another 5 or so years to spread and you will see a show just like this centered around preteens and gender identity. After all a 5 year old should be able to decide if they are male or female, right liberals?
