    Default Dancing in L.A. - Is $700 per week do-able??

    $700 per week, not working more than 5 shifts per week. Mostly days and maybe 1 or 2 night shifts in that week. Is it do-able? It's been a long time since I've danced but I've been having probs. at my current office job - and I'm SO close to quitting... but I'm scared. I need to bring home at least $700 per week, in order for my partner and I to be okay financially.

    It's just that I know dancing has been rough for many in the L.A. area. I need to still bring home my part of the bacon. Ugh.

    That's doable at most clubs, 3-5 shifts per week. If I go in almost every night I can do $1000-1500 a week, but the managers and customers really wear me down so I can only force myself to go three or four times a week. And I have enough to get by on, even if I'm not swimming in extra cash.

    YES very doable. I thought you were going to ask 700 a night. in that case.... no. But per week?? 5 days a week???? If you're not making at LEAST a grand working 5 days a week, even in LA, then you are at the WRONG club, or something about your hustle's gotta change. Yes, 700 is low-balling it.

    Omg, you guys don't know how relieved I am to hear that. I know, $700 in 3-5 shifts doesn't sound like much, but it takes a lot of weight off my shoulders knowing that I will be able to bring home the same amount that I currently make at the office.

    I've been so hesitant on putting in a two weeks notice because of that. Plus, I'm a little traumatized at knowing that one Sat. night... a long long time ago, I went home with $75 - after working an 8 hour shift at the club! I just hope my days aren't always that bad.

    Thank you ladies for the info. I feel sooo much better.

    Now, time to figure out which club to try. Any suggestions? Upscale is probably out of the question as I have 3 tattoos.

    Oh, and congrats Embyr!

    ^ hehe thanks! uhh, unless your tattoos are enormous, extremely ugly (which i doubt) or super-vulgar, they probably don't matter in the hiring process. Most dancers in So. Cal seem to have tattoos... upscale and divey alike. Everyone and their grandma has a tat around here!! As to which club- there have been MANY MANY threads on the merits and pitfalls of each LA club- try the search function and you'll find more on LA than most any other city (hehehe other than TX clubs & vegas) in the US. Good luck!
