    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.
