Abstract	This paper explores the complexities of copyright protection for dance choreography, an art form that straddles the line between artistic expression and intellectual property law. While copyright law has long been established to protect works of authorship, dance choreography presents unique challenges due to its ephemeral nature and the difficulty in fixing movement in a tangible medium. The paper examines the existing legal frameworks in various jurisdictions, highlighting both the opportunities and limitations of current copyright regimes in safeguarding choreographic works. Key findings reveal that while choreographic works are eligible for copyright protection, the threshold for originality and fixation can be difficult to meet, often leading to disputes over what constitutes a protectable work. Additionally, the paper discusses the implications of digital media and social platforms on dance choreography, where unauthorized reproductions and remixes are common. The research concludes with recommendations for reforming copyright law to better address the evolving landscape of dance and movement-based arts. It argues for a more nuanced approach to the fixation requirement, as well as greater recognition of dance’s cultural and collaborative nature. The paper calls for broader international cooperation and clearer guidelines to ensure fair and effective protection for choreographers in the digital age.
