Hey all! I've been reading threads on here for a little while now and I *think* I have a plan for dancing but wanted to run it by some more experienced ears
I have a college degree. I've worked office jobs for about 5 years..administrative assistant jobs and jobs working for colleges mostly. It was never what I wanted to do as a job, but it paid the bills. I hate my current job..the people, the environment, etc. But the pay is pretty good..
Ultimately what I've always wanted to do is have a portrait photography business (seniors photos, families, newborns, etc). I've done photography in the past and I'm quite good, I've just never had the time or drive to make a business out of it. So, my plan is..
Start dancing while working my current full time job, dancing a few nights a week. Do both for a couple months to save up extra/pay off some CC debt (just a few thousand) and to get acclimated to the club.
Then, after 2-3 months, quit my full time job that I hate and dance full time. Planning on dancing for 2 years at most, while I save up and work on getting my photography business off the ground, then slowly phase into just photography and maybe dancing on the side at first.
Does this sound crazy? I live in Northern Indiana, most of the clubs right near me are smaller. The club I'm thinking of starting at is a Deja Vu. I've talked to dancers, the housemom, and the manager there and it sounds like a good first club. I'm not too far from Chicago or bigger cities in Michigan with higher paying clubs which I might try out at a little later on. I've been taking some pole classes and teaching myself floorwork and stuff from youtube. I'm very fit (I'm in the gym 5-6 days per week), petite but curvy, cute, edgy unique style etc...
I'm super serious about wanting to dance, and I'm so frustrated with my office jobs, and I know ultimately I don't want to do office stuff the rest of my life. Photography is my dream.. Am I nuts? haha
