      <![CDATA[@7: Those ballerinas are essentially athletes, and their bodies reflect that. Nothing wrong with athletic bodies. Even if you did find it wrong, you could just point it out to your child without shutting it off. Leaping to the "Off" switch in desperation every time skinny people show on on screen is going to give him very strange messages indeed.

      <![CDATA[Don't worry about skinny arms on dancers.  I know that slender athletic people do not measure up to the normal US body which is overweight and covered in silly tattoos, then wrapped in clown clothes.  <br />
The male dancers did have a bit of a Beatles look.  It was nice to see that the female dancers did not wear typical ballet shoes and were able to wear more normal shoes and still demonstrate the grace of ballet without pointe shoes.  <br />
I prefer "light classics" and classical or concert music to today's contemporary music.  Under close objective analysis, you will discover that the classics are often at a faster tempo than contemporary popular music.  They vary their rhythms and therefore are far more interesting than the canned beat of typical disco and therefore are far more danceable to one who allows creativity in his life.
