Single Ladies 7 Year Olds
A YouTube video featuring 7-year-olds wearing skimpy tops, hot pants, and thigh high stockings while dancing to Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’ has gone viral on the Internet.
According to some tabloid reports, the footage of a Pomona, California dance troupe’s performance is causing quite a controversy.
Elizabeth Snead of Zap 2 It’s ‘The Dishrag’ reports that the Precision Dance team ranges in age from seven to nine. Although the girls are talented dancers, their costumes, combined with “gyrating dance moves would be better suited to someone at least old enough to get her learner’s permit,” writes Snead.
Some find nothing wrong with the girl’s rendition of Beyonce’s hit. The Huffington Post reports “Age appropriate or not… it’s one heck of a performance.”
Larry Peters, executive vice president of The Hozman Group and representative for the dance competition, said the controversy was blown out of proportion. He told Popeater “There has been a great deal of controversy regarding this performance, and it has been taken out of context. It is a little sensitive now to say the least.”
Melissa Presch, the mother of one of the dancers, along with the father of another spoke to Inside Edition about the controversy and comments made about the video. Presch said "I’m shocked, quite frankly, that people would suggest such things and say such things about 8 and 9 year old girls."
Miller noted, "As a father, when you’re watching your kid, no. You’re looking at it as a proud kid who has really high energy, who doesn’t really know what she’s doing."
