LET'S DANCE: A guide into Making Money, Managing your Intellectual Property and Understanding the Legal Issues in the Dance Industry

The book “Let’s Dance” breaks down the legal aspect of the dance industry serving as a guide into understanding some of the legal issues in dance as a business, how to protect and monetize intellectual property rights. The book starts with an introduction to Dance Law particularly the evolution of copyright in choreography, highlights some legal issues witnessed in the global dance industry, and then looks deeply into the intellectual property in the dance industry. 

The book not only sheds light on intellectual property, but it also looks at the formation of a business, dance contracts and contractual issues, partnership, employment, collaboration, and some specific contemporary issues in the dance industry.

Although the dance industry in Nigeria barely has a legal structure and that area is gray, this book provides notable literature and legal materials for lawyers interested in the dance industry to read up and educate themselves. This book is the first step towards establishing a working and well-structured dance industry in Nigeria.
