Beyonce plagiarizes choreography…Round 3

So now there’s this… She basically stole her choreography from one of the most famous contemporary dance choreographers - Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker - who says

“I didn’t know anything about this. I’m not mad, but this is plagiarism,” she said. “This is stealing. They took pieces from Achterland and Rosas danst Rosas. It’s a bit rude, I must say.”

She added: “What’s rude about it is that they don’t even bother about hiding it. They seem to think they could do it because it’s a famous work.”

Oh and there was this…

And before there was this too… I don’t know who’s running her management team but they are not doing their homework… and they’re going to ruin the career of a perfectly fine hardworking performer with all these missteps. Who knows, maybe she signed off on this, and if she didn’t, maybe she should start?
