Pole-dancing at Chinese nursery shocks parents

A Chinese nursery has come under fire for having a pole dancer perform at its welcome ceremony, it's reported.

According to the Southern Metropolis Daily newspaper, parents and children were invited to attend the opening ceremony of the Xinshahui Kindergarten in the southern city of Shenzhen on 3 September.

As part of the programme, families were invited to watch a number of female performers perform in skimpy clothing, including a pole dancer.

Footage of the pole dancer has widely circulated online, and thousands of users of the popular microblog Sina Weibo have commented on the school show, reports BBC.   

"I really don't want to know what the headmaster was thinking," one Weibo user says. Another adds "This type of dancing is not suitable for a kindergarten."

And one says: "Nursery children should learn knowledge, but not too much knowledge!"
