I grew up in the 50's and studied dance. My father would have shot the dance instructor if she ever tried to have us dance like this clip: Clip from the show. Would you let your 11 or 12-year-old daughter/granddaughter "dance" like this? This is definitely child soft porn/exploitation.

The main character of the movie, Amy, eventually realizes at the end of the dance competition that the allure she had for the hypersexual hip hop dance culture has corrupted her into harming her friend Yasmine and is a bad influence on her true goodness. She is seen at the end returning to her family and having young girl fun jump roping with friends.

The message of the movie is not to promote the hypersexual hip hop culture but to show young girls that it is a false path to self realization and becoming a woman even if it temporarily gives them a narcistic sense of power.

I think most grown women have had to cope with this coming of age understanding with their sexual nature and cultural roles. This film could be used as a teaching experience if it is seen for what it is and not what the media is trying to make it.

The vitriolic condemnation from many seems to be based on stereotypic notions of what the “societally correct” response should be and not on a deeper understanding of the clear and unambiguous moral message of the film.
