Do I need permission to play songs for my dance fitness class?

Victor Macallister: For a performance YES, for class time, NO.

Melvina Bieri: Yes. That's a public performance. It will cost money. If you wanted, you could find music that's freely available.

Jackson Esmiol: Absolutely not. having a fitness class is NOT a performance. You can play what ever you want.* Getting TD for this answer will not change the laws on this. Believe me when I say you can use any music in class you want to.
