Why did you decide to stop dancing??? Just curious!





Why did you decide to stop dancing??? Just curious!
it made me feel worthless, money potential (for me) disapeared in the club i worked at, it made me depressed, i hated the smoky enviroment, i loathed going to work, i felt unnattractive.....
the list goes on, but that's plenty enough reason.
I hated having to play mind games with rednecks I was 1000x better than.
Granted, I spent most of my career at a seriously redneck/ghetto club... drug deals, shootings, the whole 9 yards. I would consider coming out of retirement for a club with a middle-class, nonviolent clientele.
Drought was over. Where was I? Drinks were on the house.
For mixers, my love, you'd poured--what?--even the rain.
I decided to have my 2nd child. Still haven't lost all the baby weight. Even if I do I don't think I'll go back though. We don't need the money, and it's hard with 2 small children.





My body was tired, my brain was tired, and I was sick of living an unhealthy lifestyle. I've been out of the game for 3 1/2 years and have no desire to reenter.
Honestly... I was starting to drink excessively, I still did very well, but I just got burnt out, and tired of repeating the same routine. And now I'm in paralegal school, I do think of going back to dancing on the weekends sometimes, and I actually miss it sometimes, but I haven't really needed to go back yet so I haven't.



I was getting old!!
Decided I was tired of the politics with agents and the travel was starting to get to me. I was on the road 15-20 weeks a year...hard to hold a family together when you are there less than half the time.
The SC scene here has drastically changed, I chose not to be one that was taken advantage of and extorted.

It was putting me in a worse depression.
I was tired of doing it, I dreaded going to work.
I was always ill at work, I didn't even want to talk to the customers hardly.
I was drinking WAY too much.
The money wasn't worth it anymore.




I burnt out, too much excess, booze, speed, not eating.
I probably just needed a break to sort my shit out but my ex-husband convinced me I wanted to retire permanently, he was a very convincing (read emotionally manipulative) little boy, i mean man.
I want to go back now, when I can. Start again clean and healthy.

I'm on hiatus and will probably phase myself out of dancing in the next year or so. When I left to take a break, I wasn't making good money anymore, and while that may have had something to do with the economy and time of year, it had a lot to do with me not being willing to do the job anymore.
Forcing myself to dance when I didn't want to seemed like it was going to be destructive in the long-term. I definitely want to get out before the burnout gets serious.
