The idea is cute, but they could have choreographed wholesome moves. I was attracted to this video coz I choreographed a cheer dance for my daughter and her friends waaaay back she was 6 years old. I had to be choosy of their moves. I kept a video of it and it’s one of my treasures. Having my daughter in it, I was making sure their moves are cute and clean. Better have a choreographer mom to help in next time for anything having little girls in it.

Beautiful children who are only doing what they are told. They know no better. I would love to see small children dance hip hop that does not involve so much gyrating and bootie popping and shaking. Just not the most positive side of dance. When I move like this, I am not usually dancing. Just saying... Certain types of Hip hop dance moves are a flirtatious dance style that is raw and unfiltered like the culture that invented it. Some moves are for adults only due to the message it represents. I also would not allow my innocent child to do this routine. If she would like to experiment in this dance style as an adult, she may. Hopefully, she would choose a more classy dance style that shows style and grace.

Please don't judge him based on this. There is AO much more to hip hop than twerking and pumping. This is simply about the choreographer not being age appropriate for the students.

These babys might be having fun but they have no idea what message they are sending by thrusting and swinging their hips about. They should be learning to embrace and protect their bodys as a precious instrument used to deliver an expression or story through the art of dance. As I tell my babygirl, we love hip hop dance but never be caught looking ratchet in public. Smh..i hate that I cannot support the coach or performance for this one.
