'Dance Moms' 'Nude' Dance Routine Episode Playground for Pedophiles, Experts Say

Lifetime’s reality series “Dance Moms,” which follows young girls training at the Abby Lee Dance Company, is being ripped for its latest episode involving the child dancers wearing costumes that simulate nudity.

Tuesday night’s episode, titled “Topless Showgirls,” featured girls as young as eight performing a sexually charged, provocative showgirl-like routine in a local dance competition, donning barely-there sparkly flesh-colored bras and panties to give the illusion of nudity.

“All the girls and I feel kind of nervous because we feel kind of naked,” one of the dancers said prior to taking the stage.

Pyschological experts and parents groups we talked to are up-in-arms over the stripper-esque theme, and fear that the episode could act as encouragement for pedophiles and sexual predators.

That's disgusting! Children grow up too fast as it is. They should let the kids be kids and not something the mothers want them to be. Did you notice the fat Mom stuffing her face? Another mother was showing her kid how to move her shoulders in a provocative motion. Disgusting!

I cant believe holly continues to be employed as a school principal. What an example for her students! By law she is a mandated reporter for child abuse of her students. How is she doing this while allowing her daughter to be emotionally abused and sexually exploited? Her school encourages students to become entrepeneurs. I guess that has been expanded to becoming strippers and hookers and the male stripper brought backstage was giving a career day speech.
