Jalaiah Harmon has invented the choreography that replicates all internet


Jalaiah Harmon is 14 years old and studies classical, jazz and lyrical dance at an academy in Atlanta. The young woman invented in September a choreography for a hip-hop song that went up to her social networks. In a few days, he began to see how the dance was replicated everywhere: schools, parties and events. Singer Lizzo, influencer Kourtney Kardashian or members of the K-pop band Stray Kids danced the choreography. Even the queen of the Tik-tok social network, Charli D'Amelio posted on her account a video dancing the choreography without giving Harmon credit.

African-American rights activists denounced that Harmon's talent had been made invisible since no one was admitting his authorship. The young woman also claimed in networks the recognition she deserved for having created the viral dance. Even the New York Times made a report on Harmon and dance, which has been dubbed the Renegade dance , in reference to the song of K Camp. "I was glad to see my dance everywhere, but I wanted credit for him," she said. Soon, the NBA contacted her to offer to act during the All-Star Game, which was held last weekend. The author of the song thanked him for using it to create the dance: "Thank you for making Lottery the greatest song in the world," he wrote on his Twitter account on February 15.
