Hi Margaret,
I've seen proposals like this at various times, and wrote about one a few
years ago. It has many good comments:

The main problem I see is that people will still show up and take pictures
and video without seeing the policy. It's very hard for dance managers who
see someone they don't recognize taking pictures to tell whether the person
is following the policy, which means enforcement is not going to be very
good. It's very likely that pictures of people who don't want to be
photographed will still end up online, and this means that people who
cannot take that risk can still not attend the dance. So the actual
benefit from the policy is pretty low. In the other direction, people also
get a lot of enjoyment out of sharing pictures and videos, and being able
to see what dances/bands/callers are like is useful for convincing people
to come out to dances.

Hello! This is my first post and I was unwilling to
go through each month
for the past five years to see if this has been previously addressed.
(Please point me to a post/thread if it has been.) I am a new board member
in Albany NY for the Capital District English Country Dancers. I had
recently read about online video of people dancing used to deny someone's
disability claim. I had also attended an event at a large venue where
there where heart stickers available for people to put on if they did not
want their photo used. I put together a policy and am looking for some
feedback. The short and sweet version:
Capital District Country Dancers Photo and Video policy
Dear dancer,
Because photos and video are now so easily disseminated and last forever
on the world wide web, CEDC is promoting a privacy policy. If you do not
wish to be photographed or videotaped at a dance please wear a heart
sticker (provided). Dancers and others who wish to take photographs or
video dances are asked to refrain from posting images of people with heart
stickers.

for any image of anyone at a dance appearing in any publication or online.
