How much do I pay a choreographer to make a simple dance that will catch on everywhere (ex. wutang, superman)?

I will send the choreographer the song and I want him to tape it and send it to me? It is for an artist. Also, I was thinking along the lines of

"For that fee, artist get all rights to the choreo, do not have to credit the choreographer, and h the choreo will not teach to anyone, or perform it myself."



Or



The opposite of those terms



What price and terms?How much do I pay a choreographer to make a simple dance that will catch on everywhere (ex. wutang, superman)?You pay the choreographer whatever they're willing to accept. But all choreographers must be credited. And you continue to pay the choreographer a licensing fee for as long as you continue to perform the work for a paying audience. If you want an exclusive license, you'd need to pay more. But the choreographer retains the right to teach the work or use it in live performances that are for educational purposes only. Videotaping a choreographed work, however, would be strictly prohibited by either party under such an agreement.



Copyright laws work just the same with choreographed works as with theatrical works. If your school wanted to put on a school play, they either have to pay a licensing fee for an existing work, or get someone to write a play for them. If that school wants to own that new play forever and not have anyone else perform it, they would have to pay the playwright whatever he's willing to accept to release all rights to the play. BUT HE WILL ALWAYS BE CREDITED. ALWAYS.



I should point out that even in the case of a "ghost writer" or a ghost choreographer who is NOT credited (according to an agreement), the writer or choreographer still gets to claim credit for the work in their professional bio or credits and the person who commissions the work will usually admit who helped them create the piece. Ultimately, a created work will forever be tied to the creator. There is no legal way to completely take the credit away from the creator of a piece.
