There are two sides to this. The first side to this is that kids want their parents to show an interest in their activities. The ballerina activities in this article are about practice. Not a performance. Practice. Expecting grown adults to sit there and be transfixed every minute by a clumsy child doing clumsy child things is a venture into virtue-signaling. If the parents were doing that in the audience in front of their kids while their kids were performing, THEN it's an issue. This is NOT an issue. Kids also need space. They need space to express themselves as individuals, and they also need space to learn to enjoy activities because THEY like them. Omni-present parents don't allow them the freedom to do this. If you exposed little girls to what we consider to be "normal dancing," and also exposed them to ballet... but told them they could dress up like ballerinas for either, the vast majority of them are NOT choosing ballet. Ballet is a form of dance that parents choose to show to other parents that THEY made it.
