Kids are not really happy to get back to school after holidays but that definitely doesn't mean to greet them with pole dancing girls would be luring. A kindergarten school in south-east China caused outrage among parents after there was a pole-dancing session to welcome the students after the summer holidays. A footage of the pole dancing was shared online and sees a woman dressed in skimpy clothes dancing around a pole, while children aged between 3-6 years watched as they entered. Robot Strippers: Pole dancing Humanoid Robot Unveiled At A Strip Club In Las Vegas. 

The bizarre incident took place at Xinshashui Kindergarten in Shenzhen. The act sure caused an uproar as parents were shocked to see such a performance, some even considering to remove their pupils from the school altogether. The local education authority's explanation was also not convincing as they said the performance was intended to "lighten up the atmosphere." The pre-school's principal Lai Rong issued an apology reading, "We apologise for not putting more consideration into the planning of the dance performance and for causing a bad experience among students and parents."

Outraged parents on social media wrote they were reconsidering if the school was a good choice and would prefer a tuition. The Shenzhen Education Bureau informed that they would look into the matter and it certainly believes that arrangement of a pole dance was inappropraite for the occasion. The authorities are considering firing of the preschool's principal. A report to Evening Standard states, the Shenzhen Baoan District Education Bureau had instructed the school to apologise to parents and would also inspect the school's conduct.

While pole dancing may be getting popular in the country it is very much associated with strip clubs. Someone had commented on the video, "Pole dancing is by nature sexy and flirtatious, and by that measure, it is for the eyes of adults, not young children." But contrary to this there were also some parents who did not find anything too wrong to take stringent actions. Parents argued it was just another form of dancing. That being said, an entry to kindergarten with a pole dance does seem wrong.
