With a street party for every day of the week, the dance craze has taken on a new, disturbing twist - a street dance for children.

The party is held every other week in a community in Kingston and as the name suggests it is flocked by kids, some as young as 8 years old.

THE WEEKEND STAR visited the party twice and watched in amazement as dozens of kids flocked the street where they openly gyrated on each other while grown-ups looked on.

Some of the boys even got a bigger 'treat' as they were welcome by grown women who seemingly had no problem with showing off their wining skills while the kids tried with much effort to complement their moves.

On our first visit to the event we arrived shortly after 9:00 p.m and the kids were already in 'daggerin' mode and dancing up a sweat to songs of that nature.

Crowd favourite

RDX's Ben Ova was a crowd favourite and had to be replayed several times, much to the request of the boys and girls who adhered to the song's every instruction.

A makeshift stage just in front the selector's booth was not spared as the boys and girls carried on with their antics.

In the middle of the crowd also, another group of the underage party-goers danced wildly and showed off their sexually suggestive moves.

Alcoholic beverages

All this happened while the older patrons took a back seat, looked on, smoked and imbib their alcoholic beverages and even laughed and cheered on the children.

"Alrite now likkle man, hol da big woman deh an dagga dat ... Nuh watch how big she look gi har di dagga," the selector ordered over the microphone at one point before playing Bragga's Dagga Dat.

When contacted, chief executive officer at the Child Development Agency (CDA), Allison Anderson, said such a situation is a definite concern for the wider society.

"It is a concern for the CDA and it would be a concern for any good-thinking Jamaican," Anderson said before adding, "That's of grave concern to us and it all boils down to supervision because I presume adults were there."

Efforts to also contact a representative of the office of the Children's Advocate for a comment were unsuccessful.
