Legal Issues For Dancers and Choreographers (Presentation at the Anthony Burrell Center for Dance)

By MERLYNE JEAN-LOUIS, ESQ.

On June 5, 2019, I had the opportunity to present dancers with renowned dancer/choreographer Anthony Burrell (who has danced with Alvin Ailey and choreographed for Beyoncé and Mariah Carey) about the legal issues faced by dancers and choreographers at his dance center in Atlanta. We discussed entity formation, copyright, trademarks, and contracts.
