Choreographers, Welcome to the Future
When the young dancers of today grow up and become producers and dance studio owners, they will buy choreography online.

Choreographers get paid, legal licenses are given out to the buyer, great dance flourishes like never before, and everyone is happy.

Problem is, I don't have an address in England nor visa support from my new employer. Plus, I must feed my Parisian bank account. Not to mention send money home to my American accounts. My new roommate is Dutch and wants rent money sent to her bank in Holland. What is a working girl to do? Transferwise.
