Why do some dance companies (and dance moms) dress the little girls up like miniature hookers?

My daughter danced with her drill team tonight at a local event. There were other local school drill teams there, and a few dance companies.

I can understand the heavy makeup because of the stage lighting, but not disturbingly provocative clothing.

Two of the dance companies had their dancers dressed up in incredibly skanky outfits. Fishnets, teeny little black vinyl things that barely covered their butts and prepubescent breasts, and gave them extremely noticeable camel toe, etc… And one group even twerked a little bit on stage.

These girls ranged in age from about six to fourteen. What the hell is wrong with these dance companies and the parents who go along with it?

With so many people complaining about sexism these days, why are these people dressing their daughters up as miniature sex objects?
