Hi my name is Sifundo Olwami Gumede I'm 16 years old. I am from South Africa
I started to dance when I was 10 years old and I carried on till now and it would be great if I got a sponsor from Nike or Adidas or Puma for dancing.
Do get paid for making a video go viral since I'm dancing?
And do get clothes for photographs in the studio?

You wouldn't get paid by the makers of the shoes simply for choosing to wear them or dance in them for a video. That would be like me getting paid by the makers of the makeup I am wearing, the clothes and shoes I am wearing, and the makers of any jewelry I am wearing. I highly doubt that ever happens.
You will have to make a video with what you can afford to wear. If the video becomes popular enough over time, it might bring in enough money for you to get the shoe brand you want. I put in a youtube search for 'dancer performing wearing Nike shoes' and the only thing that comes up currently is several videos of performing dancers with LED shoes as you will see in the link:
So if you are hoping to create a viral video in order to purchase shoes, it may take some time. The video has to be interesting enough for anyone to post it on their facebook or other page and more and more see it and do the same with reposting. It takes a while to get popular sometimes. On facebook, I created a puzzle page creating puzzles out of photos, and thats not youtube. Just a game on Facebook. For example, I started that last Fall, and about now, it shows around 125 people are seeing my puzzles and fewer are actually doing them or making comments on them. Granted, its not the same thing and I did not do it to become popular but to do puzzles myself that I liked the images of. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
