    I've only been dancing about 9-10months switching between FT and PT. When I danced FT I started the burn out after a few months so I took about 1.5 weeks off.

    2-6 months. I took a break when I first started, like 6 months into it because I moved out and got my first "real" boyfriend and he didn't like that I danced and I wasn't really hurting for money back then. I was in that stage of wanting to hang out with him every second of my life, and back then I was totally ok with it since my parents were paying for everything still (good 'ol days lol)

    I'm voting based on working in a strip club as that is where I started and kinda always feel "at home" in the end no matter what I end up doing ..... I have not danced in a strip club since Valentines Day this year.

    OTOH, I currently do shows however have also not had a show in a couple of weeks whereas I am doing a crap load of waitressing bookings.

    Seems these days I'm a private party waitress more than showgirl.

    I thought I was hanging up my heels for good after college when I used my degree working for a corporation 40 hours a week, two weeks vacation a year and going into debt. I survived over two years before I put my heels back on.

    Now I have a better exit plan.

    2 months.

    It seems like I take breaks every few months, and I'll be out for a few months lol...I'm not really a full-time stripper. I want to get to that point, I just like doing other things at this point in my life besides work, work, work.

    Three months. Because I was an idiot who was in love with a guy that couldn't deal with my dancing. One of the only regrets I have... It was during season, too! Grrrrrr

    I became seriously ill, bedridden at times. (Kids, this is why you save some of that green green cash when you are able to- I was not prepared for such an event.)

    Luckily life is better now.

    In the past year 1/2:
    I've taken many week-long breaks usually due to sickness....also took one month off for boobs, as well as one month off when I was going through a rough time in my life.

    However, I have taken VERY long breaks before that....for 8 months after I moved to PA from LA I swore I would never dance again after all the BS I put up with. After accumulating all kinds of debt despite working 60 hours a week as a diner waitress I decided to go back and haven't quit since!!

    About 6 months, because I was pregnant with my son. I'm about two weeks away from another 6 month break because I'm having a second son. Happy about the baby, but not looking forward to the break.

    In 9 years of dancing I took a month off once. it was a shitty January and this dickhead manager suspended me for smthg dumb and told me to lose weight, so i gained 5 more lbs and came back in a month.
    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?

    took off for 3 months because of the other job I had at the time and had dog shows and skating events to do. I was also trying to fake out a custie who had a crush on me by saying I was quitting.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.
