A viral video showing the Miami Northwestern Senior High School dance team performing in revealing outfits has triggered widespread backlash, prompting Principal Wallace Aristide to issue a public apology.

The clip, originally shared by FlyHeight.com, shows the teenage dancers wearing glittery blue-and-black bodysuits, garters, lace pantyhose, and thigh-high boots during a football game performance. The routine, which featured hip gyrations and fan-waving, quickly drew criticism for being “inappropriate” for a high school setting.

Principal Aristide confirmed that parents had approved the costumes, but acknowledged community concerns. “We understand the offense caused and apologize,” he said, pledging a stricter uniform approval process to ensure future performances reflect “appropriate representation” of the school.

The video, captioned “Is This Appropriate?”, has racked up tens of thousands of views on Facebook, sparking debate between supporters and critics. Some compared the dancers to professional entertainers like Beyoncé, while others condemned the adult oversight that allowed such attire.

As the discussion continues, Miami Northwestern officials say they’re reviewing performance guidelines to balance artistic freedom with age-appropriate standards.
