Dear Sam
John Gardiner-Garden's dances are there for anyone to call - all you need
to do is acknowledge it is one of his dances when you call it. We do ask
that you do not photocopy or scan pages of his books with dance
instructions and music and pass them around - please buy our dance books
and CDs and encourage other dancers and musicians to do so. The sale of our
dance books helps us to raise our children and go towards our bills.
Many thanks,
Aylwen Gardiner-Garden

Hi all:
Does anyone here know of any dances that are licensed under an open
(free as in freedom) license or have fallen into the public domain (it's
hard to find dates for a lot of older dances)?
I'm already using a few of Seth Tepfer's dances which are licensed under
a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0) license [1] (Thanks Seth; I owe you a
beer or something!) and wondered if anyone else had licensed their
dances in a similar fashion?
I know that most callers don't mind if people include their dances in
non-commercial teaching materials or call them at dances (implicit CC
licensing is sort of ingrained in the culture), but I'd like to stick
with things that are verifiably in the public domain or have explicitly
been released under a CC or similar license.
These would be used as example dances in the typesetting project that I
mentioned recently (which will hopefully be published sometime next week).
Thanks,
Sam
P.S. I always wonder why more callers don't do this; lack of knowledge
that such things exist?
P.P.S. As a matter of public record: All of my dances are _always_
released under CC BY-NC 3.0 license unless otherwise marked or stated. I
also waive the noncommercial restriction for the purpose of calling them
at a dance.
