Hi all,
I am prompted to post this after I have seen the video clip Maria posted and was asking for help to flag it. I was very disturbed by the way the young kids are potrayed in the clip. I was also watching clips of Kids Belly dance competition held in Moscow. Girls as young as 10 -11 are in adult style costume and doing womenly seductive moves. I am uncomfortable to watch some of the moves. I find it is not appropriate or is it? I am not against kids belly dancing. But I am not sure if it is right either. My questions are
1. Is it good to have an age restriction for Belly dancing?
2. Do think kids should learn the movements that are appropriate to their age?
3. Do you think they should have costume that are toned down to their age?
4. How do you feel to see a kid shaking her chest, shimmying crazy and undualting like there is no tomorrow?
Love to hear your comments.
Cheers
Janaki
