Maia,
If you're not limited to a database project, you might consider a project of a more
graphical nature. It would useful to have an application that can interpret dance
instructions and generate a video of the dance.
There are 1 or 2 very simple ones out there, but graphics are poor and they have a limited
set of instructions.
Also, is this an assignment or otherwise something you want to do yourself. In other
words, would you be open to others assisting with this project.

Hi all,
I'm currently in programming school casting about for programming projects, and I had
the idea of a giant searchable contradance database, where you can filter by move
combination, etc.
My question: is this something people would be interested in having? Or does it run the
risk of infringing on intellectual property, or shortchanging dance writers on book sales,
etc.? (Obviously no dances would be included without the author's permission, but it
may be that making a huge ton of dances freely available and searchable in one place
online would be a death blow to published books of dances, or have some other negative
effect I'm not foreseeing right now...)
Anyway: does anyone have any thoughts on this project?
Cheers,
Maia
