Actually, if the same rules apply as in dance, then the "routine" belongs to the choreographer, not the student. So unless you sign a contract with her reserving your exclusive right to the moves, then you probably have no course of action. Also, with the choice of music. It is obviously copyrighted and so you definitely don't have an exclusive there. Now that being said, no one should copy another's routine. -- Air it ALL - Back & Better Than EVER!!!

In reply to: 's message, "I have really had it! I spent $750 for a new routine for my daughter just to find out that another mother heard about the music we were using and the coreographer we hired and is copying my daughter's exact number! First, I can't believe the coreographer is doing a number to the same music! But shouldn't there be a morality among pageant moms that we won't steal ideas and numbers from each other?

This is basically an ethical issue. Try talking to this woman and see if she might reconsider using the routine. (NT) -- No name, 10:48:15 01/13/05 Thu (NoHost/63.164.145.85)
