Well, there is so much dance being made that can't be taken seriously - I
mean dance as ART - that connects to people/ that inspire! I mean the
average layman/woman doesn't understand a lot of what they see and often the
choreographer sends mixed messages because of lack of knowledge of the
essence of choreographic material and essence. When dance is beautifully
choreographed with intent and meaning and is well filmed, well, the effect
is wonderful! I'm not saying that I can do either well, but that is my
goal! Les Watanabe - Portland Oregon

After years of directing/collaborating on video/dance pieces for UK TV I'm
not so sure that Dance on video does make that much sense. Certainly most
Commissioning Editors in British TV don't take dance at all seriously.
Strangely enough, dance on the web (to me) makes much more sense, if only
because there is a different relationship between those of us who care
about dance and the media/technology...

However - Richard Lord's response is a specific example of the best answer
I know -
Because bright and talented choreographers want to ... for me that's reason
enough!
