Wow! Those girls can dance!
I think the reason I didn't feel yucky is they didn't seem to try to be 12 year olds going on 22. They "felt" like (to me anyway) kids who just love to dance and move.
I have only seen a couple of little girls dance. One was really good techniquely, if a bit flat--I think she had been dancing so much she was burned out a little bit.
The other one...well, I kept fearing her top was going to ride up to her neck! I was pretty tense watching her dance. I guess mom had seen her dance in it before, and was confident the shirt wasn't going anywhere...the rest of us were not quite so confident. She kept doing this camel movement over and over, and that shirt would get shorter and shorter. *shudders*
So I think it is great for kids to dance....any type of dance, but I don't like the dances (or "beauty pagents" for that matter) that make little kids look like adults. It always makes me think of that poor Jon Bennea (sp). The pics of this child made up like some 20 year old just made me sick.
