So you think your baby can dance? Stride Rite is holding a Best Little Dancer in America contest. Apparently the Baby Loves Disco train will be stopping in 12 cities in search of the kid with the most funk. I don't think there's a real train, but judging by these sample videos, I don't think there's gonna be too much funk either. Because so far it looks like the bar has been set nice and low. Nobody really seems to be putting their heart into it. And you know what that means: if your kid has even the tiniest bit of rhythm, maybe he or she could be a big winner.
There are two age categories: ages 0-3 (I'm sure the 0-year-olds will have just dazzling footwork) and ages 4-7, with one winner and ten runners-up from each category. Voting is online, so even if you don't feel like making your child compete, you can still tear apart the dance skills of small children from the safety of your computer. And a portion of the proceeds go to charity. The rest go towards gold lame pantsuits and coke for the competitors. Ah, the 70s.
