Start with these checks
- The specific school’s class photography and video policy
- Permission from the teacher and all involved parties where required
- A clear permitted use for the recording before deciding how to share it
The problem
You want a short video to help your child remember a Singapore dance lesson, but other students may appear and you are unsure whether teacher approval also allows you to upload the clip publicly.
Ask before taking out the camera
Firstpointe’s terms require permission from teachers and all involved parties before photographing or videoing classes. A request for a practice aid is still a recording request. Explain what you hope to capture and who might appear, and accept the school’s actual answer rather than assuming that being a parent supplies permission.

Keep the purpose narrow
Choose the smallest useful question, such as remembering a teacher-approved sequence, and ask whether a suitable personal practice aid can be provided. Do not record another child incidentally and decide afterwards that the clip was necessary. A tighter request can help the organiser understand the purpose; it does not remove the permissions its policy requires.
Read the use restriction separately
The same terms say recordings and photos are for personal use and must not be uploaded to social media or sold. Permission to make a recording therefore does not establish permission to publish it. Keep an approved practice clip within the permitted personal use rather than turning it into a public class review or an online performance sample.

Choose another memory aid if recording is unavailable
Ask the teacher what non-recording preparation is appropriate for that lesson, such as a short written reminder of the exercise name. Leave instruction and choreography-use questions with the school. Boardzip’s free event search can help compare children’s dance introductions; check their recording conditions when documentation is central to your choice, without assuming every organiser follows the same rule.
Questions and answers
If the teacher says I can film, may I post the clip on social media?
Firstpointe’s terms separately prohibit social-media uploading of class recordings and photos and limit them to personal use. Recording permission does not remove that restriction.
Can I film only my own child without asking?
The published policy requires permission from teachers and all involved parties before class recording. Ask how the school handles your specific request; cropping a clip later does not establish prior permission.
