Nudity at dance competitions

Just read the most stupid campaign I have ever seen, proposing that event organisers should provide changing facilities for dancers. click for article

Apparently there are adult websites that show dancers in states of undress, but a lot of dancers are pratically nude when on the floor, so I don't see what the big deal is.

As for children changing, the parents should be more responsible and make them change at their hotels or something.

My 2 cents.

I totally disagree, a friend of mine found a photo of herself on an unscrupolus website, with inapproriate comments

At so many competitons, there is nothing private for competitors to change and I for one don't want to be photographed changing into a dress

Also I cannot get a good view of the floor when my friends are competing so screens would be really good

I'm HOT! LOL

But I still don't want to undress or dress in front of a bunch of strangers! I like my privacy!!!

Having pictures of dancers taken in a state of undress without their knowledge (and obviously, their consent) is simply unacceptable. Posting them on websites is disgusting and can also be illegal!

I don't know what is so hard to understand about that!!!

Changing facilities that have a curtain or SOMETHING blocking the public's view into a changing room would be wonderful! My daughter dances, too and the LAST thing I want to discover is that someone moron took a photo of her while she was changing and pasted it all over the information super-highway so some pervert could get his or her jollies!

There are scantilly clad competitors on the floor, but not naked competitors. There is a HUGE difference there.

The problem is mobile phones that take pictures. A person appointed as a Security Guard should do the trick. Anybody caught should be escorted from the building in full view of everybody.

If there is a ballroom dance event, there is a restroom. At least one!!
Dancers change in public because they want. If you're nude in public and somebody takes your picture and post on the Internet, it's legal!
You're in public. If Britney Spears' p.... is published and it's legal why yours won't.
Just use the restroom!

It's pretty hard to change into a standard dress in a restroom stall without getting your floats in the toilet!

not to mention the mess it makes with fake tan, hairspray and toilet paper everwhere

why competitors can't show some consideration for everyone else who may use the restrooms is beyond me.

they have hotel rooms to change in don't they?!

They don't necessarily have hotel rooms to change in. Some people may live locally and just come for the day. They may be staying at another hotel (to save money, because they prefer it, or the comp hotel is full). They may need to change too quickly to get to their room and back in time (it can be a long walk to the ballroom in some hotels).
