    Default where do you stand on dancing right now?

    i'm just curious, since there have been a lot of threads lately about girls wanting to get out of the business/who are fed up/who feel trapped. there have also been plenty of responses from girls saying they're still happy with what they're doing. so, how do you personally feel right now?

    note: the last option is for those of you who'd like to quit for reasons other than "burn out" like having a baby/getting married/moving/whatever

    I have no urge to quit right now. I am young and doing well, I figure I better take advantage of this opportunity while I can!

    ETA: i've been danncing on and off for 4 years and currently live in Minneapolis.

    Other? Not quit, but taking a break until it's what I want to do again.

    I quit mainly because of severe burn-out, and that was about 3 years ago. Now I kind of want to go back, and I will be taking a working vacation this summer (I will be dancing 3 weeks).

    I am really glad that I have been out of the biz for some time, because it's given me an excellent opportunity to reflect and figure out why this business is/isn't for me, and why I got burnt out in the first place.

    When I go work this summer I have a clear plan and a goal in terms of what to do with the money I make.

    Knowing what I know now about dancing is going to be a huge privilege for me.

    I picked over two years and still happy-not totally true, but I'm coming out of a burn out period, at a new club, so I'm doing better. I know I need to keep working through school. And I do want out of the Northeast, which seems to be going downhill quickly, but I'd hate to totally stop again.

    two years and still happy. I mean, it's a JOB, I'm not going to absolutely love every minute of it any more than I would with any other job. But overall, I'm happy with it.

    I voted. I've been doing it 2+ years and I'm still happy about it.

    I mean I don't want to do it for too much longer and would like to do something else, but I'm happy about the money. Happy enough about the money to be happy about the job.

    I'm in Austin, and I've been dancing on and off for 4 years. The money has gone down a little lately but I'm still happy. That's probably because I only dance 1 night a week. I'm going to be a nurse full time and continue dancing until I just get sick of it.

    After three years I'm phasing myself out, for reasons which do include burnout. I'm not totally unhappy with dancing, but need at least a break. Like Scarlett V., I'm not going to dance again until it's what I want to do.

    Default Re: where do you stand on dancing right now?

    I'm in the "Other" category too. I'm frustrated at the lack of money combined with an over abundance of girls, but I'm not burnt out or wanting out. Thats what I get for living in Vegas. I know there IS money here, but I stick to the smaller clubs vs. the "super clubs" and since I've been hopping around trying to find the right club for me it's hard to establish a regular clientele. I personally prefer that; I find that I get mentally exhausted when I'm spending all night going from custy to custy. With the smaller clubs I've found they have a more local regulars...but they turn cheap too or just come for the scenery.
    Just gotta keep at it til I find my niche I suppose.

    I picked the last one but it's more that I want to quit stripping full time, not quit entirely.

    I've been dancing for over 6 years now and I still love dancing. However, I'm not happy with the clubs in my state-Wisconsin is not a great place to dance. Once I'm off probation, I plan to travel to better clubs.

    I put that I want to quit and its under 2 years, but I think what I really want is to find another job and continue to strip.

    been dancing off and on for 16 years. I'm burned out and tired of the business. Not all aspects of it, but here lately there seems to be more bad than good.
    When you reach the point that the thought of going to work makes you feel ill it is time to get out while you have sanity left.

    I am almost on my 4th year. I have done it on and off---but about a year and a half ago I decided I was going to be "on" for quite a while. I'm still going strong, better than ever actually!! In the year and a half I have been dancing full-time, I have taken 2 month-long breaks.

    I love dancing in Portland, I love the work and the people and my club. But with the economy going the way it is, I'm not making nearly enough anymore. I need something more stable, so I'm looking for the next thing.

    I've been dancing over 4 years and I am still happy.

    I've taken occasional breaks, but this has been the longest one I have done. I am going back within a month.
