Abstract
Sexualized dance routines for young girls are becoming more and more common in dance competitions. The appropriateness of these dance routines is being debated by parents, dance instructors, and public audiences as prepubescent children are frequently presented in risqué costumes to perform sensual movements that critics argue are inappropriate for young performers. Supporters of sexually-themed dance routines, however, contend that the girls are only having fun, do not see the costumes and movements as sexual, and give performances that are considered acceptable within the context of a dance competition. Nevertheless, practitioners have the responsibility to create an environment that promotes the well-being and healthy psychological development of their young dancers. Research supports that sexualized dance routines for pre-pubescent girls are age-inappropriate and potentially harmful and should therefore not be included in children's dance performances.
