My 7 year old daughter has recently started Stagecoach drama,singing and dance classes. 3 weeks ago she started holding her crotch and dancing whilst singing " I'm sexy and I know it ". She told me that this was played every week at her stagecoach dance class. I was shocked and complained to the principle that I considered this inappropiate . She said that they were having difficulty finding suitable music but I disagreed and said there were hundreds of funky dance tracks. The class is for 6 - 8 year olds. Anyway, she said she would deal with it and it is no longer played. But now just 2 weeks later they are learning a new song. It contains the word "sexy " in it. The words were printed out and given to the children - they started nudging each other because they are taught at school that sexy is a "swear " word. Some children put their hands up to tell the teacher but all she said was " put your hands down ". I just think it's unecessary and inappropiate for this age group. Am I being unreasonable ? Would love to hear your views !
AIBU?
Inneedof you aren't training them to be sexually aware 
but you are normalising behaviour and setting boundaries. So when they hit teenagedom and are sexually aware is it then possible to undo everything they have so far been taught? To say
"well yes dear wearing tiny shorts and nipple covering bands while singing along to songs that demean women's role to just a sexual plaything for men was ok when you were 7 because you had no concept of what it meant. Now you know cancel all that and become a feminist with the knowledge that sex is fine between consenting adults but being sexy isn't something that you need to be to be valued"
Yanbu! Gyrating and grabbing crotch singing "I'm sexy" is just wrong for a 7 year old! Just take her out.
Also, I'm not a stalker or anything, but fabbychic had two sons. I only know that because she used to go on about their maths degrees... .

I was waiting for worra to tell her off badger 
I'm too busy laughing And imagining her looking like this
I remember my Mum telling me about the furore 'The Twist' caused, with everyone shaking their bottoms on the dance floor...and how my Gran didn't like the idea of it.
Apparently a 'tea dance' was the only naice place to go on a Saturday night
Whores shake their jelly not naice girls. And getting down low to the floor
And don't even start me on what they might have done last Summer
I genuinely laughed out loud then.
The makerena was much more innocent...
I taught drama briefly at a Stagecoach...I saw very unprofessional behaviour and the dance teacher repeatedly said "Look at her foot! Bloody lovely that foot..."
In the way dance teachers admire a student's foot if it is well formed...but really! "Bloody lovely"
OP Yanbu...Stagecoach is variable at best.
