These girls are dancing for a COMPETITION. What they are wearing is a COSTUME!! They don't dress like this outside, or anywhere else besides the STAGE. I'm pretty sure a pedophile would still look at a little girl that has pigtails and wearing overalls. These girls are amazing dancers to be 9* years old. How about we look at that!! These girls most likely had on sweats that whole day, until they had to go on stage. What these little girls wear as a COSTUME for a PERFORMANCE, has nothing to do with who they will become, or how they will act in the future. Also when it comes to their dancing, these girls are phenomenal. They are hip hop/jazz dancers, as you can see from their video. They are way past their years in technique, and skills. Goodness, I wish I had their skills at 9*. And to answer the question “Were there no adults around to tell them to do something suitable for 7(9*) -year-olds instead of doing this?” I'm pretty sure that their PARENTS (who happen to be adults) are either on the side of the stage/ or in the front row cheering their daughters on, like a involved parent should.
