    Default Starting up again: anxiety.

    I've been dancing on and off since the age of 18; I'm 20 now. I danced for about 8 months total, so I still consider myself a newbie. I'm starting up again soon so that I can become financially independent and move out and pay for school and such.

    The thing is, I am just feeling so nervous about starting up at a new club. My wallet is so empty right now, so I'd have to borrow money from my bf to start up.
    I'm not sure if it's the fear that I won't make any money, or that the girls will all be awful to me or what. I think I'm also nervous that since I'll be dancing about 20 mins from my home, that I will see a relative there (like my perverted uncle whom I could TOTALLY see going to a SC!). I guess I'm just in need of some encouragement from someone who's been where I am.

    Don't worry about the uncle. If he comes in just ask the manager if you can get taken off rotation and explain the situation, most are pretty understanding about that sort of thing. If you want to dance, dance! It sounds like it could help you out financially right now.
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    i had/have the same fears. i danced for over 2 years betwen clubs and pp's and i took 1 1/2 years off. I'm going back to both in the next week and im nervous at the club that i will get made fun of and not make any money and im worried during pp's my hustle will have left. I keep telling myself the only thing to do is to jump in and see where it takes me. Im sure the first couple nights will be nerve racking but everyone seems to say its easy to get back into if you have been doing it for long enough. good luck!!!!!

    I've danced on and off the last 5 years and I recently had a baby- I am terrified to go back! I went to an audition... I couldn't even get out of my car, I drove back home! lol I'm in a whole new area, I'm unsure of the clubs around here, unsure of myself (I know I'd get hired, but I'm still self conscious). Yeah, it sux.
    The best advice I can give you is just don't think about it- do it.
    I was all ready to go to my audition, no anxiety or worries, but then I started reading some of the negative threads here on SW, and then I started thinking about stuff and over analyzing stuff, my brain just kept thinking and thinking till I arrived at the club, I freaked out and went home LOL.
    I don't know if I'm cut out to do this anymore.. but if I give it another shot, the plan is to NOT think! Just do!
