[quote=Anonymous]1. As a former dancer, that is extremely good technique for that age. Anyone who says different is exposing their ignorance of the art form. I’m not arguing with you on this; I’m informing you. The dancing demonstrated a good grasp body isolation, proprioception, etc. You’re comparing her to the professionals you’ve seen on America’s Got Talent. I’m comparing her to the unwashed masses I saw at dance classes for years. She’s good. I will not be reading responses to the contrary.

2. People experience flow when they really good at something. Beyoncé is an amazing performer, and I could image that being on stage is her happy place. I can understand wanting to share that with your children.

3.  I personally would have chosen different dance moves for my 13 year old girl. People are arguing that the moves are fine because they are toned down from the original choreography. I’d argue that the chest popping at the end of the clip is still s-xualized. Picture your own mother or grandmother doing that routine. Picture a politician you hate doing that routine ( Hi, Trump.). It feels uncomfortable. Now picture that same relative/politician doing clogging or whatever. It feels safer. That’s because in our culture, it’s perceived as s-xual.

Maybe you personally don’t perceive it that way, and you’d be totally fine with watching anyone perform the routine. I just don’t believe that most people see that and don’t get subconscious buzz from seeing a human body move in a certain way. No judgment if an adult chooses to do that, but as a mother and a dancer, I’d make a different choice for my kids.
