Dancers Making Money on Expert Village
I came across a website ExpertVillage that features how-to videos on many different topics. This site pays experts and filmmakers to create instructional videos. According to their application form, the average assignment pays $300, but, they say, you can make up to $30,000 per year - whether that's realistic or not, I don't know.
If you do a search for "dance" on Expert Village, you'll come across hundreds of listings for dance related videos as well as articles.
Belly Dancing with Sahira
Belly dancer and instructor Sahira (her profile on Expert Village and her website) has 20 short video clips on Expert Village. Of the two I've watched so far, one was just over a minute and the other was about a minute and a half. Neither included a music track - I'm wondering if that's because of licensing issues and expenses. Here's what Sahira's video collection looks like on Expert Village:
Here's Sahira in a clip titled "The Figure Eight with Hips Move: Egyptian Belly Dancing."
The above video is the second top rated video on Expert Village - but I can't tell how many votes it received.
Her video "Egyptian Belly Dancing: Putting Moves Together Three" is on the third page of the most viewed videos. No other dance videos is more popular, but there are yoga and pilates videos that have more views.

Looks pretty cool. I wonder where they get $30,000 a year. It looks like they pay you $300 for one project. Are they saying they allow you to do a maximum of 100 projects a year? Curious... Nevertheless, this could still be a really good marketing tool for dancers...Thanks again.
