In 2020, when the world was in lockdown, a dance challenge went viral.
The #I’masavgedance challenge for Megan Thee Stallion’s single “Savage,”was recreated with Kenyans also joing in.
The creator of that dance Keara Wilson became famous but did not profit from it.
But she and other creators have now got copyright thanks to a partnership between Choreographer-activist JaQuel Knigh and Logitech.
JaQuel Knight is Beyonce’s choreographer and has launched a company to help creators copyright dance moves
Logitech and Knight have partnered to help 10 BIPOC creators obtain their copyrights through the creation of labanotation, the method used for writing down dance steps. Wilson was among the first six creators whose copyrights have been approved.
