Sooo...I havent been around in a while. Reason being I'm so over dancing. I'll be 31 soon and I just feel that it's run its course for me as a full time source of income. I'm transitioning out, teaching some more dance classes, i take my AFAA group fitness certification exam next month and I feel good about path I'm on in my life. Problem is, all these things are "in the works" I still have to get through the summer supporting myself dancing and its hard. Ive all but given up working at one of the larger competitive clubs and been working (when i do go) at a dive. At the dive I average about 200$ which if you would have told me a year ago I would have been satisfied with I would have laughed in your face. But, its soooo much easier and after dancing for 7 years, going through a divorce being the sole physical custodian of my child, I just dont have it in me to talk to 30+ people every night. I will take my piddly 200$ off a few guys but I know I need more. I'm in foreclosure and could get the 30 day notice at any time. I need to have money saved for rent, new furniture and the like. I'm getting by, but if I got my mojo back I could be COMFORTABLE. I'm finally receiving regular child support and alimony payments and I dont want to become dependant on that. I have a good chance to stash some money and still have an awesome summer. I need to integrate working at the bigger club. I hate paying a 90$ housefee, I hate working with 300 other girls,I hate it being a crapshoot where you could make 50$ could leave with 500$. I used to be really confident in my money making ability as a dancer but not so much now. I hate everything about it .I'm sooo much more comfortable at my dive but I know I'm not maximizing my time. Ive turned the dive into a substitute for the club where more $$$ is and it was never supposed to be that.It was just supposed to be a change of pace club. I find myself requiring a drink or 3 before I start working and I was never that girl.
How do you keep your eye on the prize($$$)when you already have one foot out the door?
