This type of entertainment is really very harmful to children's development. Urban children generally don't need more flashing lights and exciting 'entertainment' given to them. They need thoughtful, interested adults to be a part of their lives. A hour in the park looking for worms will do them much more good.
Kids have danced together since the beginning of time. It's even better if their parents are joining in.
Agreed, so why do they need all this?
I'm going to agree with this to a degree. Music and dancing are important culturally and socially and it goes on in most societies organically. One thing I think is negative is the use of "cool" in several places in the publicity. I've witnessed kids who are friends with mine getting bullied because they are seen as uncool, mostly because of lack of cash or because the parents are not from a groovy western background or both, I hope the use of the word "cool" is only there to appeal to certain types of aspirational parent and not to kids cos in today's world the last thing we need is more "them/us".
Because (a) the kids enjoy it and (b) the parents enjoy it and (c) sometimes it's a nice break to have the entertainment provided for parents
