Dance Awareness: No Child Exploited (DA:NCE) Stopping the Hypersexualization of Children

Founder of DA:NCE, Mary Bawden sits down with Jeremy Slayden to explain how children are becoming increasingly sexualized through dance at younger and younger ages. During the last decade, there has been a cultural shift from healthy educational children’s dance to harmful hypersexualized children’s dance by using adult costumes, sexually suggestive choreography, and music with inappropriate sexual themes and/or lyrics. Studios, dance teachers, and even parents often unknowingly model their movement choices on what they see in the media and pop-culture outlets. Our organization is dedicated to raising awareness and providing dance educators, parents, and concerned adults with the resources and education needed to take action and end this kind of exploitation occurring through hypersexualization of children in dance.
