[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh. I don't have daughters but I have a son who is a competitive gymnast at gym with multiple dance and cheer teams. That means I have been to several dance and cheer competitions.

You know what I see? Dance and cheer is, hands down, the most diverse youth sport I've ever seen. They have more racial, body type, location, and socioeconomic diversity than any other sport my kids have ever done or that I have ever seen. The families are really nice, welcoming, and generally positive. The kids seem to be having a ball.

Yes there is a lot of sparkle and glitter and makeup. But these kids are having fun, in a positive environment.

Whatever- you’re crazy if this is your  best example of diversity- though that wasn’t even my point- and there is much more diversity, if that is how you define dance being great, in basketball, football, etc. 
  However any size or shape can be a stripper so I guess if that’s important to you in this conversation, there you go.

Now back to my point- wearing fishnet and makeup and doing some of these moves is gross.  Some dance technique is present- but that happens in the classroom not these goofy competitions.
  Just wish it was less tacky and more athletic.[/quote]
