Is it worth it to do a trip to visit other countries while dancing? Anyone have experience and would like to share? What kind of traveling documents or visa is needed? Thanks.

Australia is good for dancing and if you're under 30 you can get a working holiday easily online
How about London, Germany, or other interesting countries?
Based on my limited experience and assuming you are American, for the UK you will generally need a visa that allows you to work (e.g. settlement visa), clubs won't sponsor you for a work visa. You could go as a tourist and see if places will let you work w/o documentation, but unless you already know someone who can help hook you up with some shifts I wouldn't bank on that. For London specifically I don't know if it would be any easier or harder.
I don't think you are likely to get caught, and not entirely sure what the penalties are if you were, but I do know it will look bad on your immigration history and could prevent you from getting visas in the future.
Eta: You can work on a student visa, but it's limited and you aren't supposed to work in clubs, in case you were thinking of doing that. But I don't know how strictly that's enforced.
I would be curious to know more about this! :)
I've looked into dancing in Europe, as well... it seems the UK is a good bet IF you have the right paperwork (with the current political climate, I wouldn't risk doing anything illegal), but in other areas, clubs can be more extras-based, or are closer to brothels.
I heard the UK does not give out work visas for adult work.
Unfortunately the clubs I tried in London said they would not hire a US citizen without a work visa.
I've worked in the U.K. without papers and it's really not worth to travel to for the sole purpose of making money.
Is there any kind of visa that would work except student? I wonder how girls from the US travel all over the world to work. UK isn't good money?
The UK is very shit money.
Very shit money. It was a bit better when the GDP was stronger, after the conversion, but still not worth traveling for. I worked in Europe while I was living there because I had no other choice but I wouldn't go exclusively for work.
Mainland Europe is a totally different game than in the US/Canada. You work for a salary (50-100 euro a night) and make commission off of drink sales.
I know girls that came from Russia or EU to dance at my club in Philly. How does that work? Can the drink be fake?
I'm guessing you're at cheerleaders? If so, they come through best dancers agency.
Yes. Are u working there as well? So the agency gives them a visa?
When I started 2012, there were about 100 Russian girls working. They're gone now. What happened??
