What Parents Need to Know

About DanceOnSunset

Parents need to know that this innocuous site is the online destination for fans of the Dance on Sunset TV show on Nickelodeon. After learning the weekly dance taught to the audience and viewers, kids can learn the advanced version from the site. The short video snippets, photos, and online game are all fine for tweens. Kids can also upload a video of their self-choreographed dance, but they're taken to TurboNick.com to do so. Banner ads are definitely present throughout the site, and commercials play before selected videos.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about whether they're interested in uploading their own dance videos and what copyright laws they need to pay attention to if they do so. Why can't you have videos with music and logos in the background or on clothing? Families can also talk about other situations where the rules of copyright apply.
