A Chinese kindergarten headmaster has apologised after allowing a pole dancer to perform on the school’s opening day. Yes, you read that right. A Chinese kindergarten thought it was a good idea to have a scantily clad woman writhing around a pole in the school courtyard on Monday.

On a stage in the courtyard of the school, in front of rows of children aged three to six, all first-day-ready in pristine white shirts and neatly pressed black shorts, a woman did a routine that would not be out of place in a downtown strip club.

Dressed in a tight, black midriff-baring top, black leather hot pants and high black sandals, she flung herself around the pole and down on the floor, flicking her hair suggestively.

Some little boys can be seen laughing and swinging around each other, while the little girls in red majorette-style outfits in the front appear frozen still. Several mothers can be seen hurriedly shooing their children away from the scene.

“Who would think this is a good idea?”, a parent asked above one of several videos he posted on Twitter.

After the videos garnered lots of unwanted attention on the internet, the Baoan educational bureau said the pole dance was “inappropriate.”

In a statement on Weibo, the Chinese answer to Twitter, the bureau asked the owner of the kindergarten to apologise to the parents and the public, and to sack the principal.

The principal of the kindergarten, Lai Rong, issued an apology, saying she thought “inviting professional dancers to the kindergarten to perform for the parents would liven up the mood” on the first day back.
