Beyoncé and Megan Thee Stallion choreographer launches company to copyright dance moves

The company, Knight Choreography and Music Publishing Inc., will reportedly operate in the same way a music publisher does where it will broker licensing deals and protect IP.

"Copyrighting movement is about putting the power back in the artist’s hands," Knight tells Variety. "We set a historic precedent with our ‘Single Ladies’ copyright achievement, and we are thrilled to be launching Knight Choreography & Music Publishing, Inc. so that the next generation of artists are afforded the same platform, resources and tools to thrive, creatively and financially, in the commercial music industry." The company will operate in the same way a music publisher does where it will broker licensing deals and protect IP, except rather than copyright music, Knight Choreography & Music Publishing will oversee the rights to Knights dance moves.
