Hi everyone! I know NYC is supposed to be pretty dead in the summer, but how dead? I want to look into moving to NYC from LA but don't want to risk it if I can't make rent/food lol... Is 5000 a month doable in the summer? Thanks!

Yes and no. Its very possible with regulars. New girl money helps but it will be tougher in the summer. Good luck
Yes, that is only a little over $1000 a week.

One thing I will tell you about New York is that it is a struggle no matter what industry you're in. You're looking at a grand in rent minimum to be within reasonable commuting distance of the clubs. I wouldn't move here just to dance but if you can dance and pick up something else on the side, its doable.

Well I'm in LA right now. My club is probably the best in the city so that helps a lot with income but LA is (from what I hear from dancers) pretty shitty. I was going to visit for a week or so to do a trial week and vacation a little. Is 4 grand a month really not doable? Even working 4 days a week??
Yes, you can make 4grand a month.





I notice it starts getting slow the week before fourth of July up until the beginning or mid September(during Jewish holidays). After the Jewish holidays, things should be getting normal.
August is the shittiest month ever.
