[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a video of one of her solos. She has her own back up dancers. Hard to believe she is just 13 (turned 13 in January).

https://youtube.com/shorts/kNQTHwb8GSQ?si=xlKIqwClftEhKDQZ[/quote] Those are not "her own backup dancers;" those are Beyoncé's dancers. The woman on the right of the screen is Beyoncé's co-lead dancer. She has been with Beyoncé for 7 years and recently became known as Blue's "stage momma." She's been a mentor and protector of Blue during the last tour and has continued through this new tour.  She is always dancing close to Blue on stage.

It’s interesting how posters express “concern” about Blue Ivy’s upbringing without acknowledging the context or underlying biases. Blue is 13 years old and happens to be the daughter of two world-famous entertainers. Of course, her life is going to look different from the average teen’s — just like it does for any child of celebrities. That doesn’t mean she’s being deprived of a "normal" childhood, it just means her normal is different.  Let’s not forget Beyoncé is known to be incredibly private and intentional when it comes to her children. From what’s publicly known, Blue is involved in school, dance, and other age-appropriate activities.

Also, let’s be honest: [b]Black children are regularly adultified. What Blue Ivy is doing — dancing on stage with her mother — is not harmful or inappropriate. She’s being celebrated by her family, cheered on by audiences, and seems genuinely joyful.  I see no problem?[/b][/quote]

Her dance moves aren’t sexualized, and she is fairly covered up. I think the dancing was done tastefully and they toned it down from the original Deju Vu music video dance moves. [/quote]

Her dance moves are very much sexualized for a young teen who just turned 13. [/quote]

It’s not anything worse than what you woulRd see at your average cheer or dance competition. [/quote]

Depending on the area, in some high schools, yes. Not in middle schools.[/quote]
