Was in the process of watching this movie with my 8 year old and there was something quite noticeable and unecessarily distastful early on. What was the reasoning behind the storyline depicting the only African American girl on the dance team as unable to pay for her class? What was the point of her being shown working at the desk and saying she owed time on a shift doing the books to pay for her class? It is bad enough she was the only little black/brown girl on the dance team, but even worse the depiction as if all the other families could afford the classes and hers could not. It is racist depictions like this that must stop as it also sends messages to children early on for systemic racism to continue and for black/brown children to be devalued.
