You can introduce yourself/your blog, and open a discussion about your passion for videodance and tell about your project/s. There are a lot of highly intelligent and friendly Jewish dancers on the group, from all over the world. They might be inspired to say quite a lot on the subject of videodance, I can't say for sure? But I think it's a great connection for you to have for your dance blog.

I am definitely interested in ways to generate revenue for videodance-makers and dancers of all types through videodance. Tomorrow's post will deal with this somewhat. Thanks for the link to the IFD database of web videos, these are great! My husband was very excited by this, he grew up doing all those dances. His parents met doing Eastern European and Middle Eastern folk dances in the 60's. You just can't help but smile when you do these dances. Thanks for sharing. And yes, I'm not getting enough sleep these days. Running a blog is a lot of work! I think I need to post for a blog-walker. Someone to feed it and let it out to play with other blogs while I'm at work all day! Great comment Shoshana.

Do you sleep? LOL! Personally I would like to see an article/blog about videodance as a saleable, passive-income earning commercial product. I mentioned this before in a comment and think that it is an important aspect of what can be done with videodance productions; even amateur videos. In the Israeli Folk Dance community*, the choreographers videotape and sell their dances, distributing them around the world to IFD teachers. There are over 7000 original IFDances to date, and dozens more added to the list every month. Rather cultish. If you ask me, IFD is a religion! Nonetheless, it is perhaps a model (of sorts) for choreographers of other genres, to possibly model their videodance approach after? Not sure on this one, because I am not certain that the average dance enthusiast would *pay* for an instructional dance video? I would like to see the videodance revolution become a viable income source for dancers in all their various fields. What say you? <a href="http://www.bekalut.com/ifdvideos.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bekalut.com/ifdvideos.html</a> Dear Anna,
