Apparently dance can be protected by copyright [0]. However, wouldn't this be work for hire for Fresh Prince? In that case he doesn't own the copyright, whoever own the show's copyright owns the dance as well. just like it owns the copyright for any lines the actor spoke. Seems like the case will be dismissed on grounds that Ribeiro lacks standing. Whoever owns the copyright for the show could sue though.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.legalzoom.com/articles/how-to-copyright-a-dance" rel="nofollow">https://www.legalzoom.com/articles/how-to-copyright-a-dance</a>
