- Watching them yourself on your computer
- Compiling a DVD of other people's dance clips for instruction in the classroom?
The thought that someone could be downloading my clips (or worse, clips of my student group) to show in class & pick apart with their students makes me ill.
I put clips of my students online, with their permission, so their relatives in other states can see them perform, and so new students can study class choreos at home. But knowing people could download them & do whatever with them makes me want to take them down.
Sad.

Lauren,
You bring up a good point.
Also, many people are uploading videos from DVDs that producers/organizers of shows/ dancers are marketing for sale. If this is solely for marketing purposes (a little bit just as a teaser to get someone to buy the vid) then OK.. . . But it appears that a lot more of the footage is getting uploaded at times. This could represent a lose of income to the producers . . . but who really knows.
I like to try before I buy . . . . but I haven't gotten in to downloading/saving on my computer . . . not enough space!!!
