    Default Returned to dancing and already switching clubs

    Im still new to dancing as I only danced for a couple months, took the summer off, and started again last week. I work day shift at a small, topless dive-like bar. The first day back I only made 20 bucks and wanted to cry but decided its ok theres another day. Second day back I made 150...which i thought was really good at the time. Anyway I find myself dreading to go back to work. At first i thought id like it because I stand out from the other girls (most of them arent very attractive at all) and its more of a low hustle club since dances are only 5 bucks during the day. Now I feel like I can do better, or I should at least try a nicer place. Like when I made $150 I started thinking thats not so good since I worked from 12-8. And when I sell like 4 dances instead of it being $40 its only 20...I do like thats its casual, low hustle club but Idk if I can learn or gain anything from working here. Im thinking about trying night shift or just auditioning at a new club altogether. I mean when I was at this place before i had more bad days then good...most i made there was $300 but that was one time in like a month. I guess I wanted to know how long a new dancer should give a club. A week? A month? an hour?>lol I just dont want to leave and have it turn out to be that I shouldve gave it more time. I dont think its my hustle either because our club is dead most of the time and when guys do come in its not hard to sell dances...I just think theres not a whole lot of money to be made. Im losing motivation here.But I wanted to get some advice since I am still a newb...and I would be nervous starting somewhere again...but I dont want to get comfortable here and only be making waitress money either...sorry if this was a bit long...thanks for any advice its much appreciated xo

    Personally, if I don't feel comfortable at a club or I'm not making what I expect then go club hopping until I find a place that I enjoy working at & that meets my standards income wise.

    $5 A DANCE?! That's insane, if you can make anything with dances being that price I'm sure you would do very well at a different, even more upmarket club.

    Changing clubs can be daunting, especially when you have only danced at one club & are still new, but, it sounds like this club isn't doing well/isn't busy atm-& it's natural to lose motivation when you are making less than you are worth. We all have bad nights now & then-you win some, you lose some-but when you are losing steadily-it's time to switch teams! Some dives can be great money, but your dive doesn't sound that profitable.

    Try to audition for another club in your area and see how you go (you are new, but have some experience so that works in your favor). You have nothing to lose-if you don't pass the audition the 1st time around then you know what to expect & can prepare for your next one. i.e. take some pole classes etc before your next audition, perfect 2-3 tricks, refine your dancing a little so that you have a few things up your sleeve & feel confident.

    This industry can be worth working in, but don't ruin your experience so early on in your dancing career by sticking at a dive making pennies-when you could be else where making bank!

    Good luck with everything x

    I'd change clubs here because $5 is insanely low!! But its not a good idea to get too into the club-hopping....I would do my research, visit a couple clubs and pick one that you really like the atmosphere and pricing for, and then audition for it, rather than blindly stabbing in the dark. And try to stay at a club for at least a few months before changing again....otherwise you will never get past the breaking-in curve of a new club.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    you would have to do a ton of dances to make a good amount of money. you'd be working so hard when at the end of the day you would be exhausted to make what you did. Find a club that sells dances at a higher price.

    About getting your groove back- it takes some time. dont worry about it getting back into it within the next week or two.
