are always so helpful and make so much sense... Megan (my almost 7 yo dd) has been in a hip hop dance club at lunchtime for the last six weeks. She's having fun and she's showed me some of the dance and while she's not amazing, she's not bad. None of the moves are outright suggestive but... Here's my question. Would you let your 6 year old daughter take a hip hop dance class? The dance company that ran the club is starting a class just for the girls in the club with a recital at the end of May. I think it's a fun form of dance but I think maybe it's a little suggestive or mature for 6 & 7 year olds. She'd like to take the class and it fits into our schedule. She's in such a hurry to grow up. She'd act and dress like Hannah Montana, Lizzie Maguire, and the rest of the current teen idol crowd if I let her.
If I don't let her take the class am I being over protective? Is hip hop too "mature" for 6&7 year olds?

AAAAHHHH what a hard question!

no your not being unreasonable.
My daughter has been doing dance (in school) for the past three years.

Quite honestly, my first gut reaction is that no I would not allow it if my child was showing signs of wanting to grow up and dress/act like a teen at the age of 6.
