Accusations are flying around that the choreography for Beyoncé’s new “Countdown” video were pilfered from the work of Belgian contemporary choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. There are some move -for-move/shot-for-shot similarities between the pieces. So, what is this, inspiration, homage or infringment? Beyonce takes her place in a long and distinguished line of dance plagerists. Stealing dance moves is nothing new.
