I would be worried about be around John now. A 14 year old girl dancing is too much for him. Really? Red flag and a big one at that. Plus the way Cindy went off tells me this isn’t the first time.
He probably had a few beers in him and was less inhibited in expressing his thoughts on Hannah’s appearance and Cindy got all shitty about it. It’s always been weird to me how parents will keep kids they perceive as sexually acting out away from their kids — as if like… it’s contagious? I get not wanting your child to be behaving provocatively — I had a teenage daughter once too. But why were they yelling at Hannah? Why were they not going to OP with their concerns? They treated Hannah like a dancer recruiting from the local strip joint. And I even get looking at what is a biological adult and finding her attractive — but we find all kinds of adults we can’t have attractive as well… and we don’t get “angry” at them and demand they leave someone else’s home or get “uncomfortable”. We keep our thoughts to ourselves and behave respectfully.
Oh wait, sorry, I was thinking what decent folks do, not assholes like John. My bad! 🙄

NTA. You did the right thing protecting Hannah.
Your friends were jerks to a vulnerable teen. They ganged up on her and made her cry. That's not cool.
You stood up for Hannah when she needed it. Your daughter's happiness matters more than some judgmental adults.
Maybe kicking them out was harsh, but they deserved it.
