how much should you actually have saved before traveling to a new state to dance in?
At least enough to get yourself back home again if things don't work out at the club? Do you mean like a few days trip, or MOVING someplace?
not sure yet! haha!
The general rule is to save up an emergency fund of at least $1,000. If you are travelling farther than $1,000 will get you home, then save more before travelling.

How far are you going ?
As a dancer you can just work along the way ( especially if driving ) . Try a driving trip first 2-4 hours from where you are now if you want to try a new place.
Do not sink costs into air fare unless you are a really experienced traveling dancer.
Be careful when you do this & make sure you go prepared. I recommend keeping certain documents available saved in an email in case you lose your phone etc. Keep somebody in the loop on your travels too.
I keep $1000 in emergency money because anything can happen but I try to keep the trip itself under $400 including air bnb and transportation costs. I don’t drive so Uber / bus fare adds up but I plan ahead.
