The first one didn't read as a child at all. On the other hand, I got no "sexy" feeling from her, either. What an amazing dancer she is!
The second one did come off as young, and also not "sexy". She is MUCH better than I am, but not professional-level like the first one.
If we see this dance as a real art (and I do), we need to be OK with kids and teenagers performing it (and I am).
The costumes were OK for a BD competition, maybe even for a mixed-dance competion. But for a "general public" performance, I would not be OK with the costumes in the United States. Maybe other countries, it would be OK. Here there are too many unpleasant assumptions that might hurt the girls.
