Best Answer

Choreography can be protected by copyright if it is notated or otherwise recorded; dance notation is obscure and rarely used, so most choreographers will have videos made from several angles instead. If you are performing choreography that is not your own, you will need permission.

You will also need permission for any music used, which may include grand rights fees if the rightsholder feels it creates a dramatic performance (that is, telling a story).

If you wish to video record a performance, you will need synchronization rights and master use rights for each song; the agreement is very likely to limit distribution.
