This is part of the folk process and the best way to get dances in circulation. If people only called their own dances or had to pay royalties to call other people's dances, a lot of dances would never get called. No. The choreographer should publish their dances, unless they ask someone else to do it. I know some choreographers don't want their dances published, for some reason. If you modify a dance in a very minor way, my policy is to say it is a variation of that dance and credit the original choreographer. If you borrow a move or sequence from a dance, I personally believe you should credit the origin of the move or sequence in a foot note when you publish it. Janet
