I remember when the talk of oversexualization typically applied to preteens but now Its hitting younger kids. What's next, thong diapers?
People need to let kids be kids.

ITA. This is the point I was trying to make.

As I said, when I danced, if the top was more revealing, the bottoms offered more coverage, and if the bottoms were skimpy (just leotards and tights), the top was more covered. You CAN have freedom of movement and wear a one-piece, short or long sleeved leotard and tights (gymnasts do it!). And instead of thigh-high boots, they could have worn jazz shoes. It's the SENTIMENT that is enraging people.
