I was thinking that they're should be a kids version of Stictly- where famous kids get paired with kid dancers. It's like a kid version of Strictly. Which kids do you think should be pros and celebs?

Well the BBC steered clear of The Voice Kids for five years, and yet ITV have stormed in straight away with a UK version next year. People can draw their own conclusions as to why the Beeb were reticent.

it's a no go - junior dancers do not teach - it is against their amateur status if they compete nor would they be capable to teach

Didn't watch the show but saw the previews - don't understand why any parent want to put their kids through something like that!!

Nope. Have watched a few So You Think You Can Dance Kids dances and it just looks a bit awkward.

one word - Minipops

If you are too young - youtube it, but prepare to be deeply disturbed

You are absolutely right of course Bendy, but, all that aside, the only ones that would /could be capable are a few of the very top youngsters in the Country ( G-RB for example). They would have no time for this as they are active competitiors, training everyday and comping each week either in the UK or overseas.

I agree that children wouldn't teach. Irrespective of amateur status, teaching and competitive dancing are quite different skills. Also there are regulations around teaching. However, they could partner. Maybe as Jennifer says they wouldn't have time, even if they just attended the later lessons once the routines have been learnt.

Also, tbh, I'm not keen on children appearing on reality shows.

Channel 4 showed a programme some years back called Baby Ballroom which was based around very young dancers dancing in competition. It was a decent programme, but some of the cruel remarks made afterwards by people who do not have any understanding of dance, would have made your hair curl.

Ughh shudders. I wouldn't tune in for that. I don't like seeing kids performing like adults. I don't even like seeing kids wear make up.
