Ummmm call me crazy but why dont they just teach these kids proper nutrition, good self-esteem and give them a ball, some rollerblades, a jumprope, bicycles and teach them how to play hopscotch, kickball, tag, hide-n-go-seek, monkey-in-the-middle?
Yes poledancing is an activity that requires a great deal of strength and calorie expenditure, but so is subduing a criminal with a nightstick after chasing them on foot through seedy neighborhoods. I dont think that CHILDREN need learn either.
