Renowned and respected choreographer JaQuel Knight (of "Single Ladies" fame, among other things) is helping ensure that BIPOC choreographers not only receive credit for their work, but have the legal means to demand credit (and compensation) when their works are infringed.  Last week, Mr. Knight announced that he-alongside Logitech-took a large step (leap!) forward in their efforts to secure copyright registrations for ten viral TikTok and other dances, all created by BIPOC choreographers.  Among the first to be registered was #SavageChallengeDance, choreographed by Keara Wilson; Salute a Legend, choreographed by Chloe Arnold for the Syncopated Ladies (pictured below), and Savage Remix, choreographed by the Nae Nae Twins.
