Sources tell the site that the singer is planning to record a bunch of videos at once and is dealing directly with the hipshakers.
By cutting out agents and managers, Beyonce is apparently getting one heck of a deal.
The star is not breaking any union rules and while some dancers have decided against doing it, there are plenty who are happy to take the mainstream gig.
The average wage for appearing in a high-profile music video is about 3,000 US dollars.
And while the production company will pay some agency fees, those appearing with Beyonce will not get that much.
The diva has yet to comment on the story, which some industry types say destroys the normal balance of the dance biz.

Close-ups reveal what appears to be a layer of mesh on her head.
But Beyonce, 25, is said to be wearing this year’s celebrity must-have, a lace front wig.
The Bootylicious singer is not the first person in the limelight to discover the perils of using hair accessories.
Victoria Beckham recently opted for a slick bob after saying she "got sick" of her long hair extensions.

"I’m not wearing it for long and it’s worth the pain," she said.
Dreamgirls is based on the rise of Sixties girl group the Supremes and Beyonce plays Deena, said to be a thinly-disguised Diana Ross.
Ross was rumoured to be unhappy with the film, but Beyonce said: "I’ve met Diana Ross and she is one of the nicest women in the world. She came up to me and said if I ever needed anything, just to let her know."

The singer was joined at the premiere by co-star Jennifer Hudson, whose character, Effie, is the most talented singer but is pushed out of the picture by the more attractive Deena.
In real life, however, the role has been reversed.

Beyonce’s solo album Dangerously in Love and debut single Crazy in Love shot her to solo stardom and made her one of the most recognised divas in pop. The album won her a record-breaking five Grammy Awards and her single and album also topped the UK and US charts simultaneously.
With a handful of forays on to the big screen Beyonce can also lay claim to the title of Actress. But while Austin Powers in Goldmember might have been a success her follow ups, The Fighting Temptations and The Pink Panther have not had the Oscars beckoning. Whether her part in anticipated music flick Dreamgirls will see a change in opinion remains to be seen.
Rapper Jay-Z has been Beyonce’s long term squeeze since they worked together on his hit single 03 Bonnie & Clyde and are reported to be heading up the aisle soon after the release of her next album B-Day.
