just to clarify, I didn't mean to say this issue is to be neglected, I just don't see a point in new regulations because not even the existing ones are enforced at the moment.

Steve, I teach at a Muslim school (about one fourth to one third of the kids are Muslims, the rest are "regular" Buddhist Thais, with a couple of luk kruengs thrown in). our kids dress up to do dances as well, we had a cheerleading show with our 5-year-olds too, we had colours sports day with lots of dancing. thankfully, skirts must be at least knee length at all times, no provocative moves are allowed, though makeup is acceptable for traditional Thai dancing. in fact, on sports day this year, all dances participating in the competition had a strong patriotic theme for the anniversary, so it was very decent. I guess it is pretty much the same in any Christian-run private school around here.

I regularly watch street performances (at the Sunday market) and shows at festivals, and it seems to me scanty dressing is not the norm (except for luk thung singers, and one temple fair I stumbled upon in April), and I don't remember having to walk away because of a sexually explicit performance. it seems I'm not so exposed to questionable shows.
