Sexploitation of Children?
Watch this first:What do you think? Is this an example of the over sexualisation of children?
The girl is 11 years old. Obviously very talented but is the flesh coloured leotard appropriate for a child of this age?
This video was 'shared' by a 50s something female dance teacher friend of mine on FB so it has some critical appeal. The video has over 2 million hits and Vivo is a popular, influential site.
To be honest I found it rather 'creepy' (to imitate some of the video's comments) and very unsettling to see a child performing in this way. Am I just a fuddy duddy?

I find the whole thing bizarre , a little girl dressed in a way that will cater to the pedophile tastes dancing in a filthy room with bare mattresses
.Who would want to watch this kind of thing and why..
Ok if you want to video a child dancing fine, dress her in some appropriate clothes and move her out of the squalid conditions which could (intentional or unintentionally) have a number of unsavory connotations .
