- Fortnite is holding an in-game dance battle featuring Sabrina Carpenter.

Fortnite’s upcoming Sabrina Carpenter in-game dance event begins on May 30 at 3 pm ET and concludes on June 16 at 11:59 pm ET. To promote artistic expression, Epic Games is allowing content creators to monetize VODs of Dance with Sabrina on YouTube until June 6 at 3 pm ET – content of this nature would otherwise be demonitized due to borrowed music licenses. Here are Epic Games’ official instructions for monetization:
- Link your YouTube and Support-A-Creator accounts.
- When uploading the content to YouTube, upload it as Unlisted or Public.
- For uploading the content on other platforms, refer to the channel’s platform policies for tips on how to avoid copyright strikes.
If the user receives a claim while uploading on YouTube, a short delay is to be expected when processing the release of the claim.
“During this time, please do not dispute the claim,” Epic urges creators. Epic stated that they cannot prevent VODs or clips on Twitch from being flagged by third-party copyright detection systems.
The event allows players to dance alongside an in-game musical performance from Fortnite’s Sabrina Carpenter model; dancing on beat fills the player’s heart meter. At the end of each song, the dancer with the most heart gets a chance to contribute to the show as a Dance Leader, Special Effects Pro, or Video Artist. Epic Game’s official blog post has further details regarding the exclusive rewards for participating and winning in the event.
