Over the last few years as a judge and a choreographer on the competition circuit, I have noticed a dramatic increase in performances using inappropriate content. Fellow judges, teachers and audience members have recently expressed discomfort during performances that contain obvious improper material as well. It seems that more and more choreographers and dance instructors are making questionable decisions regarding music, costuming and subject matter, in an effort to be different. Although I wholeheartedly support new ideas and encourage creativity, teachers should never forget who their audience is and who their dancers are in terms of age, maturity and development.
