Yes, the Harlem Shake as a dance and cultural phenomenon is subject to copyright protections, particularly in its specific choreographic expressions. However, the term "Harlem Shake" itself, especially as it pertains to the viral internet meme and video format, may not be fully protected under copyright law. The original creator of the song "Harlem Shake" by Baauer, which gained popularity with the meme, holds copyright over the music itself. Users must be cautious about using copyrighted music or dance movements without permission, as they could potentially infringe on copyright.
