Change the outfits and this wouldnt be a problem

i honestly dont care about the outfits, because the talent that these little girls have is what im really focused on. theyre too cute and adorable and kudos to them for working so hard on the routine. i think thats all that matters who cares about the outfits, they're so talented and amazing.

I don't think the parents of these girls meant any harm or were aiming to create a label of their character. I just feel that the parents thought those outfits might make their act stand out and give it flare.

I have to admit that when I first clicked on this vid, I was surprised and taken back by the clothes because I don't expect that for girls there age but I feel kinda like we have such double standards for what is appropriate on media, such as movies and TV and so on. I think these girls are amazing dancers.I took ballet when I was young and I was not this talented. I do kinda think the clothes are a bit extreme but I am a bit more reserved with my clothes so that is my opinion.

@MidnightVerona this is about as viable of a talent as prostitution or call of duty

[MidnightVerona]

@fakeandgay69 I bet you don't even have an ounce of their talent.

and again, in the dance world it's not about how old you are, it's the talent and costumes just go with it. age is no factor for dance. if you have the skills of the older girls then you dance the moves they do and wear what they wear. think of it this way, if your kid is in 6th grade and he has the education skills of an 8th grader wouldn't you let your kid go into 8th grade if they really wanted to. those girls have skills, might as well show them off before its too late

the dance world is different from the real world. those outfits are acceptable in the dance world. it might have been a little too much with the outfit, maybe an inch or two longer on the shirt. but it is normal for young dancers to show their stomachs and wear short pants. also those moves are fine. moves like that are not the easiest to do. i'm 14 and on an all star cheer and dance team and i'm not even as good as them. those girls have talent. leave them alone and just cheer those girls on

[xXxPosion18xXx]

its the same outfit the girls were wearing in DANCEMOMS "electricity" LEAVE THEM ALONE THEY HAVE ALOT OF TALENT ITS NOT ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE WEARING ITS ABOUT THERE DANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[ILOVEMYGABBSTER]

WHATEVER!!!!!! these kids have talent and your just making them feel bad. just like you said there seven!!!! do you really think they know any of what people are saying about them means? they just kids wanting to have fun and dance there hearts out. it's just like wearing a two peice swimsuit with out shoes

[shigglemyjiggle]
