[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't see posts from moms here wondering if they should let their daughters try figure skating because of skimpy clothing concerns. [/quote]

The whole point of cheerleading is dressing girls up provocatively so men can ogle them. Figure skating, not so much.[/quote]

Same with the competitive dance teams around here. Or anywhere really. 
First year was good and we thought the studio in Tysons was different. Owner used to work as an admin in high schools. But this year went off the rails. They rolled out some appalling attire for the high school groups. Girls who were 15-18 looked so inappropriate for their age. And the choreography was so suggestive that parents were visibly uncomfortable. They changed up one of the outfits by adding a mesh overlay but some of the hip hop choreography was still over the top raunchy and the jazz was too sexual with girls writhing around. Influence of a newer professional dancer that they brought in has really soured me on this place. And it's not about dance. It's about selling sex to win competitions. It's not okay. 
My DD is only 9 so we are finishing out the year and won't return. It's just gross.[/quote]
