I don't buy the argument that Worlds level athletes (or any other level, for that matter) add sass into their routines by rubbing their thighs, shaking their booties, etc in order to stand out from the other talented teams. When 7/10 teams are doing these exact same moves, you aren't original! There are 1,000s of ways to add sass to a routine without rubbing your thighs, calves, ankles, arms, face, whatever. How about everyone just stops rubbing their body parts? If you can't think of a way to add "sass" to your dance or stunt without rubbing some part of your body, then there is a bigger issue here that needs to be addressed.
Also, there are 12 year-olds on Worlds teams. There are 11 and 10 year-olds on Senior teams. 99% of athletes on Senior teams are minors. Let's stop teaching these kids to dance like they're in a club. And let's stop telling them that rubbing their thighs in a stunt is sassy. They don't need to dance like they are at Cotillion, but let's class things back up a little.
