About DanceArt
DanceArt.com was created in 1996 as a way to share dance themed clipart -- way back when dance fans had very little reason to get excited about the Internet. Visitors wanted much more so we soon began featuring articles and interviews about dance. We created more clipart and began selling it as a way to help fund the site and we added features to encourage the creation of a community that offers dancers peer support, idea exchanges, a social outlet and a business resource. Free dance email accounts, dance chat, and over 60 dance message boards will keep you informed and engaged.
A Family Friendly Site
DanceArt.com recognizes that kids comprise a very important component of the dance and ballet world.

1. How do I get the artwork down to my computer?
A: Actually if you browse our web site the artwork is automatically pulled down to your Internet browser's cache directory. The artwork inherits a strange file name so it can be difficult to find. Here is how to store the art permanently in the directory of your choice:
a) Go to the page that displays the art you want.
b) Position your mouse pointer over the artwork and click on the right mouse button.
c) Read the menu that appears. You will find an entry like "Save image as..." or something like "Save shoes.gif". Select this menu item.
d) You should then be prompted for a directory for your new file. You can also change the filename if necessary.
2. What about FTP?
A: For security reasons our new web server does not support FTP transfers from our images directory.
3. Can I use the art on my web site?
A: You probably can use our Free Artwork on your pages! Please read the sections below. To acknowledge the source as DanceArt.com and link back to use the buttons found here. If you use the artwork on a web project, we'd love to hear about it or see an example! The artwork that we sell has a license agreement that covers its use. Please read the appropriate agreement and contact us if you have questions.
Using the Free Artwork on the Web or other Computer Network / Service
With restrictions, the Free Artwork can be used on web sites as decorative elements. While you may decorate your web site with the Artwork, visitors to your web site are not free to download and reuse the Artwork. You agree to not include the Artwork in any web based collection of clipart with the intention of providing it for downloading by visitors to your web site and you agree to not use the artwork on any web site that competes with DanceArt.com's artwork creation, artwork publishing, web site design, web site hosting, or ezine / portal business activities. You must identify our Artwork and Copyright on your web site in one of two ways:1) Place the statement "Copyright © DanceArt.com. All Rights Reserved" on one or two lines directly below each Artwork used on the web site. The statement should be easily readable and the entire statement should be linked to http://www.danceart.com/rights.htm. When possible link the Artwork to http://www.danceart.com.
2) Alternatively, develop a paragraph that reads: "The following images on this site are Copyright © DanceArt.com:" and link the "Copyright © DanceArt.com" portion to http://www.danceart.com/rights.htm. Following this statement list each Artwork by its filename, approximate location (by URL if appropriate) within your web site, and a short description. Place this paragraph in a conspicuous location within your web site that a majority of your visitors will see. When possible link the Artwork to http://www.danceart.com.
Corporate users of the Artwork outside of the dance studio / school arena must obtain permission in writing from DanceArt.com before any use of the Artwork occurs.

4. Cookie Headaches?
The Microsoft servers and software we use for our Galleries and ShoutOut! MessageBoard and Chat require that you and your browser accept the cookies from our web site to function.
If you don't accept every cookie that appears on our web site these functions will not work correctly. You'll never be able to zoom in on our artwork in the Gallery and won't be allowed into ShoutOut! without accepting cookies. This is not a privacy issue -- we don't collect data, we don't track your movements, we don't know who you are. The cookies help the server determine which artwork and which data to send to you. If you don't accept cookies, don't write and tell us that something is wrong -- it is out of our hands.
When you visit our site, select 'OK' or 'ACCEPT' on all the cookie messages that appears for each feature (ShoutOut! and the Galleries). You should only get one cookie for each feature, unless you are connected for a long time in which case you might get other cookies to make sure you are still connected. You'll get lots of cookies only if you refuse one or something is wrong.
Both Netscape and Microsoft IE browsers come configured to automatically accept cookies. This configuration is the best if you don't want to be bothered with the cookie messages. If you need to enable cookies follow these instructions:
Netscape 3.0: Select the Options Menu, and then Network Preferences. Click the "Protocols" Tab. Now, clear the check box for "accepting a cookie." Hit OK to close the box.
Netscape 4.0 Communicator: Select the Edit Menu, then Preferences. Click the "Advanced" Category on the left white panel. Turn ON "Enable JavaScript" and either "Accept all cookies" or "Accept only cookies that get set back to the originating server." Turn OFF "Warn me before accepting a cookie." Then hit OK on the Preferences box.
Internet Explorer 3.0: Select the View Menu, then Options. Select the "Advanced" tab and turn OFF the "Warn before accepting cookies" item. Hit OK to close the box.
AOL 3.0 for Win 95: Select the Members Menu, then Preferences. Select the WWW button. Then on the new window that appears, select the "Advanced" tab and turn OFF the "Warn before accepting cookies" item. Hit OK to close the box. Close the other windows.
Internet Explorer 4.0 Preview: Select the View Menu, then Options. Scroll down to "Security" and look for the "Cookies" section under "Security." Turn on "Always Accept Cookies." Some versions of this browser will not work in ShoutOut! yet, and will always give you a cookie error. Hit OK to close the box.
